Takeaway: FeatherSnap smart bird feeder cams now carry the STEM.org Authenticated™ trustmark in recognition of their design, effectiveness, and educational value. They were also ranked among the top 5% of all STEM products for 2024-2025.
Big news–FeatherSnap smart bird feeder cams now carry the STEM.org Authenticated™ trustmark, and they were recognized as being among the top 5% of all STEM products for 2024-2025. Best in STEM is a recognition separate from the authentication trustmark and is given annually to the top products evaluated globally.
STEM.org is an organization that conducts research and provides credentialing services for STEM–short for science, technology, engineering, and math–education. STEM is a key component of educational curriculum because it supports critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and innovation, and touches on important skills that students need to survive and thrive today and in the future.
The certification honors what’s at the core of FeatherSnap’s mission–inspiring learning, curiosity, and connection to nature through technology. The STEM.org Authenticated™ trustmark showcases the value of FeatherSnap products in both homes and classrooms.
Leaders in STEM Educational Tools
FeatherSnap smart bird feeders–both the original feeder and the new smart hummingbird feeder cam–make birdwatching interactive, educational, and exciting through the use of motion-activated cameras, AI-powered bird ID, solar charging, and Wi-Fi connectivity to send high-resolution photos and videos directly to user phones.
In addition to the trustmark, FeatherSnap feeders were noted as being “Best in STEM,” meaning they were among the top 5% of all STEM.org-reviewed products in 2024-2025. This recognition, which is separate from the trustmark designation, is made each year to products taking in the top 5% of those evaluated globally.
How FeatherSnap Enables STEM Education
The STEM.org certification signifies that FeatherSnap bird feeder cams have passed rigorous, objective evaluation for their use in education to further real-world learning. The cameras, the organization noted, can be used in a variety of educational curricula, including biology, environmental science, and data-logging projects. As a STEM product for schools, they support hands-on learning and provide a glimpse into avian behavior that is otherwise extremely difficult to monitor, including migrational patterns, the physics of flight, socialization practices, and the biology of species identification.
Further, the certification makes it clear to parents and educators that FeatherSnap cams are not just something new–they are safe and reliable, and deliver genuine learning experiences that can’t be found elsewhere. FeatherSnap’s proven app makes integrating the cameras into educational activities pain-free, meaning classrooms can set up their cams and start getting crystal clear imagery in literal minutes.
