Children’s Library
Full STEAM ahead! We’re charting new territory for STEAM education.
Our goal is to increase awareness among children ages 6-12 years old about professions in the STEAM industry. Our books share technical information in a clear manner for children to understand. They broaden a child’s perspective of the world, enhance their knowledge of the built-environment, and bolster critical and creative thinking skills.
What started as a standalone tool used to partner with communities hosting the Smithsonian Waterways Traveling Exhibit, has snowballed into a series dedicated to teaching children about different areas of STEAM.

We are excited that our partnership with Esri Press has brought an entire library of resources to teachers and students alike. Visit SteamAtWork.com to browse printable activities and games. Learn how to calculate area, measure distance, change basemaps, use your own spatial data to make a map, and more!
