Description

Join us for a live event with Kristen Nordstrom, author of STEM picture book Mimic Makers, and two real inventors! Kristen Nordstrom is a full-time teacher at a STEAM Academy teaching biomimicry and other science topics. This Title One, public elementary school was started by a group of dedicated teachers and one amazing principal, to bring the power of hands-on science to second language learners and socio-economically challenged students. Kristen is a member of NSTA and Mimic Makers is her first book. The book features ten inventors from around the world who have studied nature and applied their discoveries to inventions that are helping people and our planet – and two of the featured inventors are Dr. Al Crosby and Dr. Duncan Irschick at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.
