How a topic works
First the question, then the picture, then the explanation.
Every topic has the same four blocks, always in this order. That way you know where you are.
Why
A question from your own life. Why can you have a say at school, while the head still decides?
See it
A picture you play with: share out seats, follow a law from proposal to the Official Gazette, find the warning signs in a suspicious post.
Get it
The explanation in plain words, then the rule, and an example worked out step by step.
Do it
Exercises checked on the spot: work out seats, match who decides what, put steps in order, judge sources. A fresh exercise every time.
Then you read the typical pitfalls, where you meet it in real life, a bit of history and what to know first or learn next.
Four domains
From your class to the world.
Living together and rights
4 topics
Rules and laws, your rights and duties at school, debating with respect and doing your bit for others.
How Belgium works
6 topics
Democracy, elections and seats, the municipality and the province, communities and regions, the federal state and the courts.
Europe and the world
3 topics
Human rights and children's rights, the European Union and the United Nations.
Media and news
4 topics
How news is made, checking facts, advertising and influencers, filter bubbles and opinions online.
Who it is for
For those who learn, help and teach.
For pupils
Start with what you want to know. Play with the picture until you see it, and practise until you feel you can do it. Mistakes are information, not a punishment.
Start practisingFor parents
Every topic explains how things work, without taking sides, with a question to talk about together at the table.
Choose a topicFor teachers

Make a worksheet
For schools
For schools and teachers.
Stem works in class without fuss: nothing to install, no pupil accounts, and a worksheet is ready in a minute. The material is neutral, and made-up examples keep current politics out of the lesson.
Worksheets with solutions
Choose a topic, a level and the number of exercises. Print it, the solutions are on a separate sheet.
Free for teachers
Through Kaft, teachers use Stem for free, on the interactive whiteboard too.
No pupil accounts
Pupils practise without logging in. What they can do stays on their own device.
Pictures for the board
Every topic has a diagram or picture to play with, big enough to discuss together in class.
