Rick talks with Saki Milton, STEM advocate.

Have a watch:

Children and teens across the United States are heading back to the classroom, ready for a brand new school year. While parents might be happy that summer break is ending, it’s important that they have an active and encouraging role in their child’s education.

Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) education is an increasingly important part of a student’s curriculum, and science specifically can offer them the opportunity to explore the world around them. So, how can parents drive passion and curiosity for science within the next generation?

On Wednesday, August 30, educator and international STEM advocate Saki Milton will be available to share tips on what parents can do to evoke passion around science and nature during the new school year whether they’re out-and-about or at home. Saki’s engaging and interactive recommendations will give parents the tools they need to make science fun and approachable for their kids, and even help connect their child’s natural curiosity to future careers in science.
