I always thought why I would learn about what war was fought in what age and who did what when it has nothing to do with my life.The professional engineer went on to suggest, “You can make a difference if you tell itlike its story so that it sticks in your mind, and makes it interesting.” For many yearswhile serving as a history instructor at a community college I frequently heard similarstatements from the best students in STEM fields.STEMstoryEducation has undergone a revolution in a generation.
