STEM Board Games
Board games don’t have to solely be for entertainment. Some games have educational lessons built right into them. Consider STEM board games to improve your child’s STEM knowledge and skillet set. We have gathered a list of STEM board games we know your child will love!
Dr. Eureka
Dr. Eureka is a brain-teasing, science-themed game that pushes your child to match the order and position of the balls to the current challenge card. At the beginning, each player is given three test tubes filled with two different colored balls, or “molecules.” A player draws a card and the race to pour the molecules from the test tubes begins. But she can’t drop or touch the balls! When a player completes the task, she says “Eureka!” and wins.
Q-bitz
In Q-bitz, your child will race to be the first person to correctly arrange cubes to the pattern of a card. You get 80 different puzzle cards to complete in three different ways. There are three rounds, and the first player to match the pattern wins that card. This mind-challenge helps your child practice symmetry, visual dexterity, and quick thinking — all while competing in good fun!
Code Master
Code Master is a single-player STEM game that gives your child the opportunity to learn the basics of programming and code. There are different levels that increase in difficulty. The goal is to get your avatar from the start to the portal, all while collecting crystals on each level. This game is perfect for the child who wants to develop logic about code and gain problem-solving skills and persistence.
Lift It
Lift It is an engineering-based game that fosters hand-eye coordination, dexterity, logic, and more. Players build structures, either alone or with a team. We recommend putting those creative skills to work as a whole family!
Bloxels
Bloxels is a board game that allows your child to build his own video game! He will learn all about video-game development while playing a really cool game. You’ll need a device that is compatible with Bloexels as the game combines physical and digital tools. Available for both Android and iOs, the mobile app is free to download! With more 320 blocks and various elements of design, this game takes engineering to a whole new level!
