Hi Neighbor!
Confession: I’m not a big crier. People always seem slightly alarmed when I admit this, as if at any moment I might turn to stone. I want to grab their hand and place it on my heart to prove that it beats.
When something does make me cry, I take notice. You can imagine my surprise when two books brought me to tears recently. Compared to movies or shows, I think books need to work a bit harder to elicit tears, so this feels noteworthy.

STEM activities are simple projects, experiments, challenges, and demonstrations that leverage the concepts of science, technology, engineering, and math for learning. The activities are fun and provide inventive, creative, thought-provoking processes.
Introducing these concepts to children early in fun ways can foster a passion for the subjects.
Why is STEM so important?
STEM for kids is important because it shows them the more creative side of these typically logically understood subjects.
Children are naturally curious and capable of complex thinking skills prior to speaking. Different types of play are critical to developing skills related to and curiosity towards STEM fields. These skills include questioning, analysis, and evaluation. Exposure to early education in STEM fields can improve a child’s learning abilities, develop the skills to understand complex ideas, and teach problem-solving abilities. These skills and understanding can narrow the gaps between childrens’ educational achievements! Making STEM interesting to a child at a young age can improve their chances of greater success later in life.
