STEM Spark Reads

A side project initiated by Claire Lin, we started this with the eventual goal of developing a physical magazine, one that is free of charge and spreads the passion of STEM through inspirational knowledge. This team is comprised of many talented and hard-working writers, all of whom are driven to empower passion through the power of words.
