Your journey is not a straight line. And that is okay.
AwareSTEM
Neurodivergent friendly STEM learning through real projects, simulations, coding, radio, space, robotics and practical experiments.
Simple idea:
Learn it visually. Try it safely. Change it. Break it. Fix it. Then build the real version.
AwareSTEM Lab
The interactive learning lab. Start with simulations first so difficult ideas become visual before they become technical.
Current focus: Gravity and Orbit Lab, with planets, zoom, panning, Pluto, real planet information and space movement ideas.
Open Lab
AwarePy
A safe browser based Python practice app. Learners can run small code examples, see the output, copy to Thonny and build confidence.
The server does not run public Python code. Practice happens safely in the learner's own browser.
Open AwarePy
AwareSignal
The real signal, radio and space branch. This connects learning to aircraft tracking, SDR, satellites, antennas and real data.
Public pages show safe results only. Real receiver control stays private inside the admin area.

The AwareSTEM pathway
Level 1: Simulate
Use the browser lab. See the idea moving on screen before worrying about maths or equipment.
Level 2: Practise
Use AwarePy and simple challenges. Change one thing at a time and see what happens.
Level 3: Build
Move into Thonny, Pico, Raspberry Pi, sensors, LEDs, buzzers, servos and physical builds.
Level 4: Real systems
Connect to AwareSignal, SDR, antennas, satellites, aircraft tracking, robotics and real experiments.
Current build priority
We are now rebuilding the lab one module at a time so it stays clear, stable and easy to improve.
Current module: Gravity and Orbit Lab
Goal: full Solar System explorer with zoom, planet click information, Pluto explanation, galaxy motion mode and simple real world learning cards.
What AwareSTEM covers
Space and gravity
Planets, moons, Pluto, orbits, gravity, galaxy movement, satellite passes and telescope learning.
Signals and radio
SDR, antennas, aircraft tracking, Morse, radio waves, weather satellites and AwareSignal experiments.
Robotics
Servos, robot arms, walking robots, sensors, movement, angles and practical robot builds.
Coding
Python, games, simulations, browser practice, Thonny projects and step by step coding quests.
AI learning

Built for different minds
AwareSTEM is designed for learners who need clear steps, visual explanations, low pressure, real purpose and permission to explore deeply.
No gatekeeping. No assuming people already know the words. No pretending STEM has to start with worksheets.
