Inspiring children through engaging STEM stories
The aim of the That’s RAD! Science project is to bring science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) careers alive for children through a series of fun and educational children’s picture books about people working in different STEM areas. We hope that our books will encourage girls to complete studies in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, and inspire in young children a love of STEM that they can take with them into the future.
