Full STEAM Ahead! - Engineering Everywhere
Two new titles have been added to Engineering Everywhere, a set of books that uses real-world examples to show young readers how engineers solve problems using math, science, and creative thinking. Readers are also introduced to strategies used by engineers, such as collaboration, learning from mistakes, sharing ideas, and giving feedback. Children are prompted to consider how they use these practices themselves to solve problems. An activity in each title helps children connect engineering concepts to other STEAM topics.
