Resources

The truth about the STEM subjects (science, technology, engineering and math) is that they’re not always easy to love. πŸ‘ŽπŸ½ Even in college and university, the best courses usually aren’t until your later years. This sucks, and we totally understand! So we developed the Terranaut Club as an antidote to boring, in-class, learn-from-the-textbook STEM. πŸ“š We’re an alternative to traditional science education, bringing girls to the forefront of exciting, hands-on, immersive experiences in science and nature.🌱 But… we know that we can’t give everyone these opportunities, so we’ve curated this resource page to help bring  more fun🎈 STEM media into your day-to-day life.
