Online curriculum for youth with STEM content
Hi All
We are working on a series of online videos (COVIDeos) and courses for our community to continue to provide value during this strange time.
We also want to create some online courses that youth could participate in while they are at home. We are thinking about something that involves STEM content about the physics and engineering behind the design of bikes ( or something like that) .
It might involve a section about the parts of the bike and then go in depth about the various parts and why they are important to the overall function and efficiency of the bicycle. It would also involve a series of quizzes that youth could take about the content.
Has anyone done anything like this? We have done some things like this in-person at schools with teachers helping on the science/ engineering side of things and we have lots of curriculums but nothing that is specifically written down in this area and thought some of you might have something like this
Let me know if you are willing to share
Thanks

I'm starting to brainstorm this same thing, as I would like to be able to create some kind of "curriculum" online that folks could go through (pretty quickly) to be able to get a bike, since Build-A-Bike classes are not an option.
I would love to work on this with some folks collaboratively, if we are all aiming for the same type of content. Reinventing the wheel is not efficient, as we already know!
Could we start an off-list email or other chat for interested parties?
