Season 6 | Episode 603 | Length: 27 minutes

If you think science, technology, engineering, and math education are only for the classroom, think again! Parents and educators will be inspired by unique examples of STEM education in action in some very unexpected places...including an elementary school physical education class; and along the banks of our region's creeks and rivers where Girl Scouts take part in a unique program called STREAM Girls. STREAM Girls gives scouts the opportunity to earn badges as they serve as citizen scientists, anglers, and artists, in order to build an appreciation for watershed conservation and the environment.
