Stuart Tyson Elmo Morgan, or STEM as his friends and family affectionately call him, loves his community, friends, and learning almost as much as he loves his family. So, when STEM's dad suffers an injury during the family game of soccer, STEM sets out to ensure his dad doesn't lose his mail carrier job. What STEM comes up with to help his dad continue working amazes.
In the end, the bourgeoning engineer not only makes his parents proud, but he reminds us all about the power of love, the imaginative spirit of a child, and the universal importance of dreams.
The Amazing World of STEM is the perfect book for any child who is intellectually ambitious, globally, and culturally curious, and compassionate. Co-authors, son and father, Naeem K. Turner-Bandele and Nathaniel A. Turner craft a picture book illustrated by Keva M. Richardson that exemplifies and promotes diversity, the best of humanity, and science, technology, engineering, and math.
Welcome to The Amazing World of STEM!
Nathaniel A. Turner is the author of several books, including the history-making Raising Supaman, a collection of contiguous letters spanning two decades penned to prepare his son to be a great global citizen. Turner appears in many media outlets, including Black Enterprise, iHeartRadio, The Good Men Project, The Washington Post, and U.S. News & World Report.
As a zealous advocate that every person has an opportunity to maximize their human potential, Nate shares through courses, workshops, and conferences 'The Life Template, ' a backward design life process he first developed to help his son meet the rigorous educational requirements of the top colleges and universities.
Turner created 'The Life Template' in 1994 to make sure his then-unborn child would meet the admission criteria for Harvard University: intellectual astuteness, global competency, and humanitarian centered. Without means of wealth, privilege, legacy status, fraud, bribery, cheating or Adobe Photoshop, Turner's son not only met America's elite university admission benchmarks; he eviscerated the profiled criterion by his sixteenth birthday.
Currently, Turner's son is an Electrical and Computer Engineering Ph.D. candidate at one of the nation's premier graduate engineering schools. Today, those tools, techniques, and strategies initially created to help his child thrive in the Fourth Industrial Revolution are educational and life development staples for students, parents, and organizations all over the country. Turner holds multiple degrees, ranging from Accounting (History Theology and Law (Juris Doctor).
The diversity of this TED speaker's formal education, combined with a wide range of personal experiences and professions, makes him a modern-day Renaissance Man and a highly sought-after speaker. When Nathaniel's time on the planet is up, the self-described Humanity Propulsion Engineer hopes to be remembered merely as a man who did his best to leave the earth better than it was when he arrived.
