Websites and STEM Project Ideas
I have a background in education and social work (post college), so my life has taken some unexpected turns. While homeschooling my kids I was not able to find any STEM programs for them, so I decided to start up a STEM Homeschool Group with a friend and fellow homeschool mom. Now that homeschooling is finished, my interest in STEM programming has transferred from homeschooling to library programming for children. The ideas and projects below are of interest to me since they offer resources and additional links.
