I love this site! I used to use this with my MiID students when I taught science. I would teach them about reading labels, calories, what's good and what's not so good. It was always interesting to see their reaction when I would have them to select a meal from McDonald's and we would look at the calories and nutritional information.

An interesting article about why students may not pursue STEM related degrees

Interesting article. My son started off as an engineering major. But after his first semester, he decided that engineering wasn't for him and he changed his major to education. It wasn't that he didn't know about STEM. He even participated in STEM internships in high school. I think the "M" ran him away. He didn't want to deal with all the math that goes with engineering.
