As I mentioned earlier this week, while I haven’t been writing, I have been creating. Two of the projects I’m working on may be of interest to readers of this blog. Both are related to that oh-so-popular acronym STEM. In case you’ve been living under a rock, STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math.

I developed a web site for the STEM Education Alliance at William and Mary. While the primary audience for the site are teachers, there are also resources for students including an interactive magazine that features interviews with scientists. There are also videos of those scientists.

The second project is for the Tidewater Team for Mathematics, also housed at William and Mary. I’m doing a variety of things for them but my favorite is helping produce a video series called Math In Real Life. These videos feature interviews with business people as they talk about how they use math in their work and also their own relationship to math. Our first video is available and I’ve embedded it below:
