In this week’s episode, Rex talks with Sam Dean, Executive Director and CEO of the Scott Family Amazeum in Bentonville, about the hands-on approach that Amazeum and other science museums take in getting young people interested and engaged in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).
Sam discusses how science museums can not only engage kids in hands-on STEM activities but also spark a lifelong interest in STEM fields that are accelerating rapidly as technology develops.
