Welcome!
*Due to the unfortunate circunmstances surrounding Covid-19, we are making some temporary changes to do our part in protecting students, teachers, and the community. We are grateful for all of the support we have had but feel it is in the best interest of all those involved to put on hold all equipment rentals until schools and the community as a whole is open again.
We will still accept reservations for the future but know that they may be cancelled if we are still closed for business. We will be taking this time to thoroughly disinfect all equipment and facilities, to put in place a plan to keep all resources disinfected, and finally to improve our existing equipment and processes so you have a better experience with your students. Thank you for your continued support!
The Umpqua Valley STEAM Hub is proud to support educators in integrating engaging STEAM activities in their classrooms and programs by providing this library of the latest science equipment for checkout.
How It Works
1. Sign up for your FREE teacher account. Accounts are available to Douglas County teachers. You can see what we have before signing up! Just follow this link to browse our inventory!
2. Browse our resources and lessons. We have equipment for all grades and STEAM subjects available. We have a list of lesson plans put together for the available equipment. Most have links in the item description or you can see the list here broken down by grade.
3. Checkout online. Use your account to easily see available dates and check out the equipment online. You can always come back to edit your reservation if needed. Try to keep your reservations to under two weeks so other classrooms have a chance to use our resources. Also give us as much advance notice as possible! We cannot guarentee timely delivery if there is less than a weeks notice.
4. We deliver and pick up (mostly). Your reserved equipment is delivered right to your school and picked up when you are finished. We typically deliver on Tuesday and Thursday of every week. If this does not work for you let us know and we can arrange for you to pick it up or find another option.
