[LTER-mcmlter] Tools to add to your STEM page

[Stacy Maxton]

Hi there,



As you know, STEM is an important element of all levels of education. In
our ever-growing technological world, it seems there are few career paths
that don’t in some way utilize skills acquired through STEM classes. It can
be intimidating curriculum for some students, but luckily, there are a lot
of great tools for making it accessible to and fun for everyone.



Since you’ve already got so much information on your site (like on this
page: http://www.mcmlter.org/links.htm), I wanted to send you some
additional resources that I hope you’ll consider adding to your list. I
know how difficult it can be to hunt these types of tools, so I hope
they’re helpful!
