STEMWerkz is our award-winning learning system that brings together the best of pedagogies in the East and West to engage learners through meaningful play in and outside of the classroom.
We’re big believers in leveraging technology to enhance learning experiences. Ultimately, our goal with STEMWerkz is to provide a platform that brings award-winning learning experiences to students. This includes giving teachers the tools they need to take their craft to the next level.
Here are some examples of how STEMWerkz fits with some international curricula:
Plant System, Respiratory and Circulatory
Amazing body systems
Cell System
Cycles in Matter & Water Cycle
Energy Conversion
Heat and Temperature

I reviewed several of the STEM Quest activities. I was very impressed with the activities. The investigations could be used by teachers or parents to engage children in scientific inquiry and engineering design. The investigations include feedback on students’ progress and learning. They are well designed and could be used as individual activities or as components of a more complete STEM program.
Here’s what Education Alliance Finland had to say about STEMWerkz.
“STEMWerkz Quests, STEAMValley, and Channel gives a motivating way to learn and provide a vast range of content on curriculum-based subjects.”
“ The activities enhance key learning skills such as: observing, recognizing, stating, identifying, and predicting.”
“The app shows high quality and polish and gamification elements are used in a meaningful way.”
“STEMWerkz is a great tool for independent, fun learning at home.”
We are also privileged to have been awarded various other accolades for our hard work. To find out more about them, please do take a look at our awards page!

TOPIC
Forces & Motion
Effects of friction
This is an interactive video in which students design an experiment to find out about the effects of opposing force (air resistance).
Friction On Different Materials.
This lesson focuses on describing the effects of frictional force on different objects. Teaching how other factors like surface material increase or decrease friction.
Does Height Affect Gravity?
This is an interactive learning object where students identify that gravity is a constant force, and applies regardless of how high up he or she is.
Learn More About Projectiles.
This is a learning object that highlights how projectiles travel and why objects in midair motion arc downwards towards the earth because of gravity.
Why Do Things Fall?
This section introduces and helps students become aware of gravity, and the effects it has on our day to day lives.
Making an object move down a ramp faster.
This lesson highlights how students can manipulate different material surfaces, angles among other factors to increase or decrease the effect of frictional force.
TOPIC
Physical Processes
Ages 9-11
Magnitude of force acting on objects
This interactive learning object illustrates how the extension of spring increases proportionally with weight.
Does height affect gravity?
This is an interactive learning object which explains the effect between the distance and the amount of gravitational force acting on an object shown on a line graph and bar graph.
Exploring effects of forces
This is an interactive learning object where students identify the effects of force in the given scenario.
Forces in action
This is a learning object which shows how two or more forces acting on an object will affect the task that its carrying out e.g. direction of movement changes. of force in the given scenario.
Effects of friction
This is an interactive video in which students design an experiment to find out about the effects of opposing force (air resistance).
Effects of friction
This is an interactive learning object where students identify the direction in which different types of forces are acting on various objects.
TOPIC
Forces & Interactions
Grade 3
Forces and motion, PS2.A:
Each force acts on one particular object and has both strength and direction. The patterns of an object’s motion in various situations can be observed and measured; when that past motion exhibits a regular pattern, future motion can be predicted from it.
Types of interactions, PS2.B:
Objects in contact exert forces on one another. Electric and Magnetic forces between a pair of objects do not require that the objects be in contact. The sizes of the forces in each situation depends on the properties of the objects and their distances apart.
Observe the effects of forces
This is an interactive learning object where students identify the type of force and its effects in the given scenario.
Magnitude of force acting on objects
This interactive learning object illustrates how the extension of spring increases proportionally with weight.
Friction: Useful or harmful? Part 1
This is an interactive learning object which explains about frictional force and how it can affect us in positive and negative ways.
Forces in our daily lives
This is an interactive learning object where students explore and identify the different types of forces (contact and non-contact) in daily activities.
Using magnets to move toy cars
This is an interactive learning object where students apply the characteristic of magnets to solve the given problem.
TOPIC
Physics: Forces
What Is A Force?
This interactive learning lesson introduces students to forces and how to identify them in their daily lives.
Is it A Push Or Pull? Part 1.
This lesson now helps students to learn and better understand the nature of forces, dividing them into either pushing forces, or pulling forces.
Is It A Push Or Pull? Part 2.
The lesson here expands upon previous content and helps students to identify “Push” and “Pull” forces, and how they are used in day-to-day life.
Observe The Effects Of Forces.
Lessons broaden their scope and introduces concepts like the effects of forces on objects. This helps students to understand that there’s always a force on an object in motion.
TOPIC
