Have you ever done a school project where you had to research a new topic? You may have had to learn a lot of new facts that you had to share with your class. Did you know that there are people who do this for their STEM careers? They take the research they find and use it to write and illustrate their findings to teach others about this topic. The STEM career we’re going to explore today is what it’s like to be a non-fiction author and illustrator.
