TeacherGeek is an online site for Makerspace/STEAM materials, components, activities, and ideas. I will be posting more about the site shortly, but I would like to introduce one of the documents available on the site: Fake STEM , an excellent guide for determining if your STEM activity is really STEM. The guide is available on their website under the Documents and Videos tab, but I've provided a link to the PDF here as well: TeacherGeek STEM Check
