The Adventures of Paige & Paxton

Paige and Paxton and their Puzzleland cohorts provide the perfect vehicle to expand children’s horizons when it comes to who they are and what they can be when they grow up.

Ages 4+

In the storybook, “Penelope Finds Her Perfect Fit,” young readers discover the invisible force behind everything we see and do in our towns and cities: engineering.

This companion workbook is designed to reinforce the engineering concepts presented in “Penelope Finds Her Perfect Fit.” Adorable puzzle piece characters take students through activities that practice early elementary skills such as numbers and counting, data analysis, and measurement, all while digging deeper into engineering.

Look for more titles in this delightful series that introduces young minds to Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) in a fun and engaging way. Learn more about Paige & Paxton at www.PaigeAndPaxton.com.

Our Mission Change the course of a nation by making STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) easy to teach and easy to learn at the very beginning of a child’s educational experience Our Vision World Domination through STEM Why We Do What We Do For Kids: 80% of adults in STEM fields had at least one parent in the field. This means a huge number of our kids are missing out on opportunities that can be life changing.

For Teachers: Classroom teachers face unprecedented challenges to meet expectations and standards. Teachers need time-saving resources that enable them to make small shifts in their classroom lessons to drive STEM interest and create a STEM mindset.

For Our Nation: We’re losing the battle. Thirty years ago, 40% of the world’s scientists and engineers came from the U.S. Today, it’s 15%. STEM fields are where the well paying jobs are—and will be—in the global economy.
