Become a Landscape Architect
STEM Literacy by Design for Early Learners
Literacy education creates opportunities for learners to grow in their understanding of themselves, their communities and the world using STEM subjects. It allows them to envision ways they can interact with others and within their environment.
ASLA's STEM Literacy by Design program invites young readers to build their STEM literacy skills while learning about landscape architecture through colorful, adventure books, games, and music.
