Books + STEM = the ultimate learning experience. π
Author Rebecca E.F. Barone recently visited Avon Middle School in Ohio, and students didn't just read about Mount St. Helens, they brought it to life. In the school's Makerspace, kids 3D printed volcanoes and experimented to see which eruption would be the biggest. All inspired by Rebecca's book "Mountain of Fire: The Eruption and Survivors of Mount St. Helens."
