Walks Will Uncover STEM in Dallas Arts District
A new series of monthly walks will encourage students to explore math and science concepts in everyday surroundings.
Want To Teach Kids About Math And Science? Take A Stroll Through The Dallas Arts District
There’s a big push in education to boost students’ math skills. One group hopes to do that by taking elementary and middle school kids on a series of math- and science-focused walks through the Dallas Arts District. It’s called walkSTEM. Beginning in March, these free walks will take place monthly and led by area teachers.
Glen Whitney, founder and director of the National Museum of Mathematics in New York, has designed walks like these around country. He was in Dallas recently and stopped by KERA to talk with education reporter Stella Chavez.
For many students, it will become the walk of life
