I was shocked when I heard this news because I when I think of chefs STEM doesn't come up. From this I can learn things go deeper than you think. Ex. Someone takes computer science classes. Towards the end of the first year she found out that even doctors use computers. Summary:  In the article " Spotlight on STEM"  it shows how STEM has a big effect, especially as you get older. STEM is interconnected with many things like sports, history, and cooking. At the convention, the kids got explore and experiment using STEM in different ways.

Summary:  The article is about the bond between two species, humans and dogs. "Puppy Love"  talks about the cuddle chemical, oxytocin, which is a chemical in you that motivates bonding and interacting. The scientist  Miho Nagasawa  and his team conducted many experiments to test the cuddle chemical.
