A chart on greenhouse gases probably isn’t going to draw children to your table. But stations where they can blow on a colorful anemometer to make the wind speed change, sink their hands into sand, or explore why a butterfly’s wings are blue are a game-changer. The Green STEMS Project is a sustainability outreach program for children and families.
