Roseville, other local districts receive books to aid STEM education
Roseville Area Schools received copies of the book “Lucy’s Engineering Adventure” and hosted a STEM-focused read-aloud Monday afternoon.
Local women in the engineering field visited two first-grade classrooms at Roseville’s Harambe Elementary School to read the books, which Trane donated.
One book was given to every first-, second- and third-grade classroom in the district, with extra copies provided to school libraries.
The books, which were developed by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) Engineers, were donated to help community schools with early STEM education.
The rhyming picture books introduce kids ages 4-8 to HVAC concepts by comparing buildings to the human body, Trane explained.
Roseville Area Schools received copies of the book “Lucy’s Engineering Adventure” and hosted a STEM-focused read-aloud Monday afternoon.
In total, Trane donated 231 copies of the book to seven area school districts, including Farmington, Mahtomedi, Mounds View, North Saint Paul-Maplewood-Oakdale, Rosemount, Roseville and White Bear Lake.
