* Awaken student imagination and get them excited about STEM
* Fuse creative writing with STEM using hands-on activities
* Make scientific principles relevant to students' lives
* Inspire students to explore STEM topics further
The demand for STEM workers is closely linked to global competitiveness, and a successful future in STEM depends upon an early introduction to the scientific mindset. The challenge for teachers is to break through students' preconceptions of STEM fields as "hard" or "boring," to show them that STEM is everywhere, it's relevant, and it's loads of fun. For proven lesson plans with just a dash of weird, __STEM to Story__ is a dynamic resource, adaptable and applicable in school, after school, and at home.
