Eau Claire, WI – August 26, 2025 – Realityworks is proud to announce that its Trailer Circuits STEM Kit has been named a winner in the 2025 Best of STEM® Awards in the category CTE Champion: STEM.
The Best of STEM Awards, hosted by Catapult X and The Teich Group in partnership with MCH Strategic Data, the National Science Teaching Association (NSTA), and the National Association of Biology Teachers (NABT), is the only STEM recognition program judged by educators. Entries go through a rigorous, two-part evaluation process that includes review by an expert panel of educators, then more than 260,000 STEM educators nationwide are invited to evaluate the finalists.
The Trailer Circuits STEM Kit gives students hands-on experience wiring real trailer light circuits—brake, running, reverse, and marker lights—on realistic truck models. It includes easy-to-use hardware and a standards-aligned curriculum with lessons, activities, and assessments that connect STEM concepts to real-world careers. Designed for safety, the system prevents sparks, short-circuits, or damage, even when mistakes are made.
“Being recognized by the very educators we design our products for is an incredible honor,” said Todd Hunter, Realityworks’ STEM and Career Exploration Product Manager Realityworks. “The Trailer Circuits STEM Kit was developed with direct input from teachers to help students gain hands-on experience with electrical systems — skills that are essential in both STEM and career and technical education classrooms.”
This award underscores Realityworks’ unique approach to STEM education: developing tools that bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world application.
