Quality & Transparency

Trust is built through evidence, testing, and openness.

Materials are developed by people, strengthened through review and real-world testing, and revised when evidence or experience shows that something can be better.

Multiple forms of evidence

Research & sourcing

Claims are checked against appropriate sources.

Peer & expert review

Relevant facts and procedures receive independent attention.

Physical build testing

Projects are assembled using specified parts and instructions.

Educator, family & learner testing

Real users reveal clarity and support needs.

Defined status labels

Status labels describe the stage of a particular material or project; they do not mean every STEMTEQ offering has completed that stage.

In development

Still being designed; not final.

Prototype tested

Built and operated internally.

Pilot tested

Used by selected participants and revised.

Released

Published with a version, instructions, and limitations.

Human-developed, responsibly assisted

OpenAI’s ChatGPT has assisted with drafting, organization, critique, content architecture, and interface prototyping. AI output is not treated as authoritative evidence and does not replace human review or physical testing.

If you find an error, we want to know

Safety concerns, factual errors, failed builds, unclear instructions, accessibility issues, and conflicting evidence help improve STEMTEQ.
