Space Fact of the Day

The STEM Inventory

 

The California Space Education and Workforce Institute have developed the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Inventory. The STEM Inventory is an on-line, user-friendly, searchable database of many California and national STEM programs organized by grade level, geography and topic. It is targeted towards students, STEM practitioners, teachers and parents and is envisioned as "the place" to go to research and find existing STEM programs. It is also envisioned as a way to facilitate the development of a "STEM community" - by having organizations and programs present at one place, organizers will know that they share a common goal with others around the nation.

 

The STEM Inventory is a resource that educators, parents, transitioning workers, STEM program managers, and others can utilize by searching for programs by grade level, region, topic, funding and other categories.

Much like its neighbor Jupiter, the sixth planet from the sun has a rocky core and a gaseous surface. But Saturn is chiefly known for its intricate series of rings that encircle it. The mile-thick rings are made of countless orbiting ice particles, from less than an inch to several feet in size.
