Math, science, and technology teachers may want to bookmark this website as they begin to plan their fall curriculum. Bootstrap curates free lessons on various STEM subjects: algebra, data science, physics, and programming. Since its launch, Bootstrap's curriculum has reached more than 25,000 students per year. On the Courses page, readers will find a summary of the five available courses (including the recommended age level). After clicking on a course, readers will find links to individual lesson plans within that course (including content standards, materials, and supplemental resources). This design allows educators to use the entire curricula or mix and match lesson plans as a classroom supplement. For even more insights on the project, readers may want to explore the Blog or Workshops pages. These workshops take place across the country; though recent workshops have been cancelled due to COVID-19, Bootstrap also began offering online workshops in June 2020. A project of Brown University, Bootstrap is directed by a group of researchers and professors and receives support from the National Science Foundation, CSforALL Consortium, and CS4RI.
