Rubber Band Stem My Stem project for the month of March is a rubber band theme one. We had to make an art piece or an engineering piece. I chose to make an art piece.

The Wage Gap: Sports Edition The U.S. women’s national soccer team has a radiant, ambitious history. Over three decades, it has traveled from non-existent to the top of the soccer world.
