General
The course assumes that students have access to computers with a modern web browser. In addition to computer access, schools will need typical classroom supplies, such as pencils, paper, scissors, and glue. Wherever possible, student-facing resources will be available digitally, but teachers with access to printers may choose to print handouts and activity guides for students. A few activities may require some specific supplies and a list of these resources will be made available in the lesson plan associated with the activity.

Videos
Project STEM uses YouTube and Vimeo to embed videos into the course platform. For schools that block YouTube and/or Vimeo, the platform will detect this and display a video hosted by Project STEM instead as a fallback. Access to this fallback system is covered by the Items to Whitelist section above.
