Driving innovation and opportunity in STEAM education.
Since 2021, First Book and General Motors (GM) have built a dynamic partnership focused on expanding access to STEAM resources and opportunities for the First Book Network. United by a shared commitment to making sure all kids have access to STEAM resources, this collaboration aims to provide a greater variety of STEAM books for young readers, showcasing characters that reflect a wide range of backgrounds and experiences. We also engage GM employees to share their unique STEAM journeys with students across the U.S. Together, we’re inspiring the next generation of innovators and leaders. This partnership strengthens our collective effort to foster opportunity in STEAM education for all.
First Book and General Motors host STEAM Book Family Festivals to bring STEAM education to low-income communities. These interactive events feature hands-on activities and book giveaways. These festivals are a key part of our mission to inspire curiosity, innovation, and equip students with the tools they need to succeed in STEAM.
First Book provides our Network of educators with free resources to help build the skills necessary for STEAM success. These resources are designed to help children engage with STEAM in meaningful ways, fostering both technical and soft skills.
First Book developed a series of videos that explore various STEM fields, such as design, engineering, and manufacturing. These videos highlight the importance of nontechnical soft skills—like communication, teamwork, and problem-solving—in achieving success in STEM careers.
