11 Fun STEM Birthday Party Ideas

This post may contain affiliate links. 

You know we are truly living in modern times when playtime is combined with learning.  Nowadays the combination of learning and fun is so creatively done that kids may not even notice how much they are learning because of the pure enjoyment that comes from these new activities . . . well at least that’s the hope, right?  My daughter’s school is all about STEM–have you heard of it?  STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math.  Her school is centered around these activities and making them fun.  STEM is all about problem solving, creating, experimenting, and figuring out how to make things work.  I’ve gathered up some of the best STEM ideas that truly are fun for kids.  These are ideas are perfect for even birthday party activities!  You could throw a STEM birthday party and use these ideas to let kids have a hands-on experience they keep talking about for days (and they won’t even realize they are soaking up some intelligence at the same time!)  So enjoy these 11 STEM activity ideas!

New movie coming out that I want to see. I remembe New movie coming out that I want to see. I remember when this happened in 1989. The boy Josh was lost in an abandoned mine in UT for 5 days. It was a miracle how they found him. He was about my age so it made an impression on me. Now this true story has been made into a movie called Faith of Angels. @faithofangelsfilm 
Check out the trailer here: https://upvir.al/158749/lp158749  DO YOU REMEMBER this news story?
Probably one of the best shows I’ve seen at @hal Probably one of the best shows I’ve seen at @halecentretheatre lately!! The Nutty Professor had us laughing all the way to the end and the music was clever and fun.  If you’ve been trying to decide about this one, I’d say don’t miss it! #halecentretheatre #thenuttyprofessormusical #halecentretheatresandy
Did you go to 801 Day at @hoglezoo in Utah? Ticket Did you go to 801 Day at @hoglezoo in Utah? Tickets were only $8.01 on 8/01 and the zoo opened at 8:01 am. 
I went with my nieces and nephews and it was VERY BUSY! (like Disneyland busy). We arrived about 11 am and every parking lot was completely full and side streets were filling fast. Needless to say we had to walk a bit in the heat just to get to the front gate. There were lines to get in, lines, at snack shops, and definitely a line for the train. BUT we saw some animals—-lions, tigers, bears (oh my!)…plus giraffes, zebras, and a leopard.  It was definitely worth $8.01 but it’s not for the faint of heart. A fun adventure! #hoglezoo #801day #familyactivities #hoglezooutah 🐒🐅🦒🐘🦓
So the amount of car wash centers popping up every So the amount of car wash centers popping up everywhere has made me curious. Why are they everywhere?! So we decided to try is and see what the fuss was all about. Here’s the PROS AND CONS we found:

Pros:
• Gentle yet very thorough wash—no scratching!
• Attendants right there to help you
• Fun lights and cool sprayers—it’s like a show!
• Powerful vacuums and extras for detailing

Cons:
• So expensive! This is not your regular $5 car wash. 
• They have limited hours. This one closes by 7 pm so no car washing whenever you want
• Kinda an eyesore to have a car wash in every corner in town. 

What do you think? What Pros and Cons have you found? Do you like these big car was centers?
