Reimagining STEM for Kids

During much of Taylor Brown’s adventurous summer spent in Sweden, she auctioned her time off between conducting research in a lab and writing a children’s Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) alphabet book — two seemingly different activities that Brown managed to interconnect. A senior industrial and systems engineering student at USD, Brown began the process of writing and assembling the children’s book during this past summer in Sweden. Her book titled, “What do you know about STEM?”, sought to introduce STEM-related topics to younger audiences, in a way that could be easily processed and understood.
