beanz Magazine Adds Three New Writers
September 29, 2023 / We’ve added three writers whose work will first appear in our December 2023 issue: Marina Torres, Bianca Ferrara, and Eryn Spicer. Marina will cover STEM/STEAM in Latin and Central America. Bianca will cover STEM/STEAM in Europe. And Eryn is writing about how to use technology to create music, a topic we’ve wanted to cover for many years. Fun fact: our writing team now has two writers named Tim, two named Joe, two named Bianca, and two named Erin (ok Eryn sounds like Erin and Jo sounds like Joe). We didn’t plan it that way.
And we’re still interested to find a STEM/STEAM teacher or organizer working with under resourced kids who would like to write articles as a way to explore, understand, and optimize what they’re doing.
