In the final podcast of Series 1 we will be discussing the multicultural STEM and its importance in education. Inclusive STEM within multicultural contexts include activities related to the multicultural histories and representations of the diverse scientists, inventors, engineers and mathematicians involved in STEM. In STEM news we look at the diverse scientists and engineers with NASA's Artemis 1 program. The second half of this podcast will look at supporting linguistically diverse learners in STEM education and will introduce the second series currently in production called, "STEM Squared and The Sun: A Child's First Star".

In the fourth episode of our pilot series we will be exploring the idea of exceptional STEM with a discussion on the educational research related to the importance of creating STEM experiences and learning activities for all exceptional learners including cognitive, neural, physical, and social/emotional exceptional learners. In STEM news we will be checking in on NASAs Artemis 1 curriculum and support for exceptional learners.

In the third podcast of our pilot STEM series we will be exploring the idea of transformative STEM with an examination of the Nature of STEM (NOSTEM) and children's conceptions and misconceptions in understanding STEM. The process of STEM transformation revolves around continuous and differentiated STEM assessments and dialogues with learners. Common examples of transformational STEM in K-12 eduction are presented.

In the second episode of our pilot series we will be discussing the relationship between STEM & Society in education. More specifically, we will be focused on place-based learning and citizen-based STEM learning. We will also check in on the NASA's educational programming for the Artemis 1 program.

Welcome to STEM Squared. In the pilot podcast we will be introducing the (STEM)2 learning framework and discussing the relationship between the STEM fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics with teaching and learning in education. We will also be discussing NASA's educational programs related to the Artemis 1 project to return to the moon.
