Green STEM: A traveling STEM program that engages with students throughout the St. Louis region about plants and the natural environment.

The STEM activities were designed for students to explore, create, learn and discover exciting opportunities in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. Some of the topics include seed dispersal, importance of pollinators, roots of native plants and composting.

Pollinators are important to humans and plants as they can help move pollen from one flower to the next, so plants can produce fruit, seeds and young plants. What pollinators have you seen in your neighborhood? Discover more about monarch butterflies and the role you can play to help their populations by watching this video.
