Happy Women’s History Month! This month, we’re excited to honor the contributions of women to events in history and contemporary society, especially to the fields of science, technology, engineering, math, and computer science. We are thrilled to highlight the accomplishments of those who led the way for others in their respective fields and to provide the following list of resources for learners and professionals interested in supporting women in STEM, and celebrating Women’s History month all month long.

Are you looking for resources to engage your students in the conversation about climate change? EiE^® and the Museum of Science have partnered with leaders in industry, academia, and government to serve our community as a platform for public science learning. We’re proud to introduce all-new resources to help you and your students join the conversation about climate change, how the climate impacts us, and how we can best interact with our changing world. 

At Salemwood School in Malden, Massachusetts, yesterday, Ms. Sarah Augustyniak’s first grade class was excited to learn how Mariana Becomes a Butterfly! Thanks to the generosity of National Grid and support from the Adelaide Breed Bayrd Foundation, thousands of students in Malden now have access to EiE^® Try It! Kits and storybooks. These resources provide hands-on science and engineering experience to encourage STEM learning outside of the classroom.

With National Grid’s support, we’ve partnered with charities, outreach groups and school districts to provide engaging, hands-on STEM learning kits to children across the metro region. With their help, we’re thrilled to bring our at-home engineering activities to young learners and their families across Massachusetts, including a number of students in grades K-6 who go to school at Columbus Park Elementary School in Worcester. 

We’re honored to celebrate Black History Month with you this year! This year, we will be focusing on the innovations and achievements from Black and African American scientists, engineers and mathematicians. Keep an eye on our blog for additional resources for and featuring Black STEM professionals this month and year round.
