After all, a clear view of history sets the perspective forward for the future. Are you ready for your next journey of discovery? Series Blurb The Change Makers series of books will build in readers a strong sense of inquiry, to arm them with knowledge in S.T.E.A.M (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) to tackle this brave new world of unknowns.
