Summer Travel and STEM

My new Focus on STEM column: More Summer Travel is in the August Quick Tips for Schools and Libraries newsletter.

Booktalk: Celebrate two historic travel achievements with a summer travel book display and activity center.

Snippet: This past July, we celebrated the first moon landing that happened fifty years ago. Fifty years prior to that, John Alcock and Arthur Whitten Brown flew an airplane with an open cockpit through fog and ice from Newfoundland to Ireland in the first nonstop, transatlantic flight. And it has now been five hundred summers since Ferdinand Magellan and his crew of 270 left Spain in five ships on their quest to circumnavigate the globe.

It’s STEM Friday! (STEM is Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics)
