It’s through experiences when young that we find ourselves when older our experiences shape us & who we want to be eventually leading to who we become.
Today is National STEM or STEAM Day a day to encourage children toward a love of science, technology, engineering, & math that might one day lead them to a career in one of those spaces.
But, really, is one day enough?
Shouldn’t we encourage our children to embrace curiosity & making every day?
And, isn’t every day an opportunity for people of any age to experience the world anew? To embrace a new interest whether for hobby or economy?
We make every day a celebration of STEM, STEAM, or whatever acronym you prefer
