Rachel Carson Would Be Proud!
National STEM/STEAM Day is today! STEM is Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. Add Art and you have STEAM. The Census Bureau has some great statistics: STEM/STEAM. Ideas combining STEM/STEAM and our environment:
- Children could sketch a space craft that could vacuum up space debris our space programs have created.
- Children could upcycle an empty glass jar into something useful and attractive.
- Children could figure out how much trash each person in America creates each day and then figure out how to reduce that amount.
- Children could research the life of Rachel Carson, Marie Curie, Ada Lovelace, or another STEM/STEAM role model and share their findings.
