It features a hands-on STEAM challenge that is ideal for makerspaces and guides students step-by-step through the engineering design process. Make STEAM career connections with career advice from actual Smithsonian employees working in life science fields. Cover advanced science topics for older readers with this STEAM book that is perfect for secondary students or ages 10-14.
Alyxx Meléndez has written 17 books and plays for Teacher Created Materials. The first of these was All Aboard the Interstate, which was by far the most fun to research and write.
Alyxx received the Creative Voice Award from TCM in 2021. Alyxx is a poet at heart, and has written a handful of original songs supported by some charmingly mediocre noodling on the piano and guitar. Unfortunately for readers, these will never be published.
