STEM Everyday

"Go buy them a book!" Kids are interested in science & STEM, but they don't want to read dry, dull books. Jennifer Swanson has written over 40 books that don't just inform...they engage kids with STEM."Getting kids of all ages excited about science, technology, and engineering is what I DO. After all, science is ALL AROUND you, you are always a part of it. I encourage everyone to BE CURIOUS about why things happen, how they work, and then jump in and learn something."Jennifer also speaks at conferences, schools, libraries, & more!Connect with Jennifer:Website jenniferswansonbooks.comSTEAM Team Books website steamteambooks.comSTEMTuesday  STEMTuesday.comSolve It for Kids Podcast @KidsSolveChris Woods is the host of the STEM Everyday Podcast...
