The Adventures of Paige & Paxton
Paige is a puzzle piece. She lives in Puzzleland with her mom, her dad and her younger brother, Paxton. In Puzzleland, all the puzzle pieces are different. But each puzzle piece has a perfect fit—something he or she loves to do. Paige is determined to find her perfect fit, too. Travel with this adorable little puzzle piece on a journey of self-discovery in a special place called Puzzleland. Paige not only finds her passion, but also discovers that science is a way to find answers to her questions about the world. This imaginative tale uses a childhood lens of curiosity to convey the basis of scientific inquiry and investigation: asking questions, observing the world and finding answers by trying different things. Look for more titles in this delightful series that introduces young minds to Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) in a fun and engaging way.

Our Mission Change the trajectory of an entire generation by making STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) easy to teach and easy to learn at the beginning of a child’s educational experience. Our Vision World Domination through STEM Why We Do What We Do For Kids: 80% of adults in STEM fields had at least one parent in the field. This means a huge number of our kids are missing out on opportunities that can be life changing. For Teachers: Classroom teachers face unprecedented challenges to meet expectations and standards. Teachers need time-saving resources that enable them to make small shifts in their classroom lessons to drive STEM interest and create a STEM mindset. For Our Nation: We’re losing the battle. Thirty years ago, 40% of the world’s scientists and engineers came from the U.S. Today, it’s 15%. STEM fields are where the well paying jobs are— and will be—in the global economy.
