Gillian King-Cargile and Dr. Kristin Brynteson

Gillian King-Cargile and Dr. Kristin Brynteson join us this week to talk about STEM Read – a program from Northern Illinois University that uses live and online programs to inspire a broad range of readers in order to learn more about the science, technology, engineering, and math concepts in popular fiction. Listen to the show to learn more about STEM Read and the educational opportunities it offers, including book-aligned lesson plans, a podcast featuring an author or STEM expert and even a STEM Read Summer Institute.
