SMILE's learning activities, tools, and services are available to all but are designed especially for those who teach school-aged children in non-classroom settings (like museums, zoos, aquaria, and afterschool or outdoor education programs). SMILE is dedicated to bringing the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) activities developed by informal science organizations around the country to the wider informal educator community, while encouraging that community to both use and contribute to SMILE's growing collection.

Who is SMILE designed for?
Resources in the SMILE library are available to anyone who wants high-quality, hands-on mathematics and science activities for school-aged children or for the general public. SMILE is particularly interested in reaching educators in out-of-school learning environments: afterschool and outdoor education programs; science museums, aquaria, zoos, and technology centers; and homeschoolers creating their own curriculum.

What kinds of resources are available in SMILE?
SMILE spotlights hands-on and interactive activities, both physical and virtual, that involve doing and learning. Activities take many forms, from downloadable lesson plans to how-to videos to online interactive games. SMILE activities teach science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) and are developed by a wide range of organizations working with diverse audiences.

Is there a cost to use/participate/contribute to SMILE?
It costs nothing to contribute to SMILE, to use SMILE resources, or to participate in the SMILE community. You can access resources without being a member or signing in to the howtosmile.org site. To access the value-added community and annotation aspects of SMILE, you will be able to sign up online. It's fast and simple; you may already have an online account you can use as your sign-in, like Facebook or Gmail. Signing up costs nothing and takes only a few minutes.

SMILE is supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation under the National STEM Education Distributed Learning Program (Award Number 0735007).
