Young Eyes Offer Fresh Perspectives on Science

On March 16, 2015 in All, STEAM by Caroline Storm Westenhover

I thoroughly enjoy going to the Perot Museum of Nature and Science. I have gone many times with friends, family and dates. Going by myself is OK. Going with someone interested in STEM (Science, Technology and Math) is enjoyable, but going with someone with lots of energy and not as much scientific knowledge is the best.

Math: the Language of Engineers, Scientists, and Artists Alike

On September 30, 2014 in All by Lynnette Reese

Neil Armstrong’s favorite quote was "Science is about what is, engineering is about what can be.” STEM, and now STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) promote these areas for growth. Some might consider the “Art” in STEAM to be out of place, but I disagree. Engineers need cross-pollination, and have you seen some of the incredible art using open source technology?

Wisdom Teeth

On February 12, 2014 in All by Caroline Storm Westenhover

I have long wondered how I would respond to being knocked out and having some of my body parts forcibly taken from me. The recent necessity of needing my wisdom teeth removed gave me the perfect opportunity to find out.
