I sent two emails a week with links to STEM/STEAM articles, news, and resources for kids, parents, teachers, librarians. My goal was to help educate, inspire, and amuse.

30 STEM Links was the natural evolution of a kids STEM computing magazine that I published for 11 years in print and online. It was called beanz magazine. This website has both the 11 years of magazine content and the one year of email newsletter content.

beanz Magazine Testimonials

"I love beanz because it's got a lot of coding stuff and I want to try coding as a career. Also, it's got Scratch tips the books won't teach you."

— Lillian in Virginia

"As a former teacher turned homeschooling parent, I LOVE (love, love!) when cross-curricular learning takes place. Each of the projects and ideas included in beanz require a child to employ cross-curricular skills. A child isn't simply coding or creating a Roblox account. Kids are using math, science, art, or critical thinking."

— A Parent
