Showed this to my wife (a math/physics high school teacher). She loved it! Not sure if she will use this in her STEAM club, but it is possible. Thanks for the link!

It's great to hear that from you! I'd really like to get this in the hands of HS students. Please have your wife reach out to me! [email protected]
Ha! As it they would allow kids these days to even so much as look at a book that's not specifically designed to help them pass their standardized tests.
Happily not all teachers teach to the tests. STEAM (Science Technology Engineering Art Math) is all about trying to stoke interest in these paths. She's holding her first event today.
FWIW: I've seen districts where parents don't care, and she's student taught in some of these. It is terrible, as the kids aren't there to learn, the teachers are stressed out and unhappy, and the parents don't give a damn. The place where she is now is a college prep school. Hard core academic criteria to graduate, not just passing tests. Strong incentives from parents to kids to work hard, though not all do.
