If NASA space shuttle Discovery's humanoid robot could read, it would check out science, technology, engineering, math (STEM) resources at Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh. You should, too!
Extra-Credit Stories
Stories can spark curiousity about all sorts of things. Even if you don't think of yourself as someone who likes science or is good in math, you might be surprised to see how much fun you can have reading a book that includes clever concepts or complex calculations. And remember, it's never too early to start learning--or too late to develop new interests.
