Click here to read the children鈥檚 book created by Women in STEM at 91社区福利.

It鈥檚 no secret that children are fascinated with science, technology, engineering, and math 鈥 or STEM.

Building blocks, insect-collection kits and remote-control dinosaurs are popular (and fun!) ways to introduce curious young people to STEM ideas and concepts. But what鈥檚 the best way to inspire them to consider taking related classes in high school and college and pursuing a STEM career?

91社区福利鈥檚 Women in STEM employee network created a children鈥檚 book with hopes of doing just that.

In 鈥淲hat Does STEM Look Like?鈥 readers can follow Anna鈥檚 journey as she discovers how her interests in animals, art and space could lead to professions in biology, astronomy, or geometry 鈥 or any of the STEM fields.

Network members hope the book will help break stigmas around what 鈥淪TEM鈥 looks like 鈥 STEM workers can be anybody!

The book is聽available for free download here.
