My Project

We are looking to improve the non-fiction section of our school library through Science and Sport themed materials. Specifically we would like to show our students the connection between Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) and sports/sport related careers.

STEM Sports is an incredible way to create interest and passion in STEM subjects through the lens of the games kids love to play.

The new library materials will help our students connect their brainpower and physical abilities to the subjects that they learn in the classroom and to the sports they watch and compete in.
