Libraries: Register to Participate in STEM Storytime in a Box

Through a partnership between Idaho Public Television and Idaho Commission for Libraries—with funding from Idaho STEM Action Center and support from Project Learning Tree and READY!

The Rhythm of Resilience:
Music Therapy for Kids & Teens

Music therapy is a scientifically proven treatment to help with issues like anxiety, depression, developmental delays, memory issues, stroke recovery, and more. Our Rhythm of Resilience series takes a look at what music therapy is and how it can help people of all ages with a wide variety of conditions.
Bats: October Science Trek

Bats have a mouse-like body with wings of thin skin. Without bats, insects would overwhelm the earth.

Each month, Science Trek explores a different topic, with short videos available on the ScienceTrek website, YouTube, and 
LearningMedia. The Science Trek website has facts, games, links and lesson plans correlated to Idaho and national science standards.
