The Pointers Run STEM Lab Teacher Hub is a practical workspace for elementary teachers planning hands-on science and engineering experiences. It brings curriculum alignment, lesson support, materials, and lab logistics into one approachable experience.

The challenge

Teachers should not have to search across pacing documents, lesson files, supply lists, and separate scheduling systems to plan one STEM lab visit. This hub organizes those decisions around the teacher’s immediate question: what can my students investigate next, and what do I need to make it happen?

From pacing guide to classroom-ready lesson

  • A curriculum and pacing matchmaker helps teachers connect current science instruction to relevant STEM lab experiences.
  • Ten guided lesson walkthroughs make setup, facilitation, materials, and next steps easier to understand.
  • A searchable document library and tool catalog place printable resources and equipment guidance at the point of need.
  • Booking and kit sign-out flows demonstrate how instruction and lab logistics can live in the same teacher-centered system.

Designed for teacher decision-making

The dashboard turns a large resource collection into a short path from current unit to next action. Grade, unit, standard, and timing cues reduce scanning, while adaptations and support prompts keep learner access visible during planning rather than treating it as an afterthought.

Prototype scope

This portfolio version demonstrates the complete teacher experience. Booking, kit sign-outs, and Google Sheet synchronization are prototype workflows and are not connected to school accounts or production systems.
