Just up in the north-eastern corner of good ol' USA, snuggled between the mighty mountains and the sparkling sea, lies a splendid state called New Hampshire. It's a place where leaves turn brilliant hues of orange and red in the fall, and snowflakes carpet the ground in winter. But, the most magical thing about New Hampshire isn't the breathtaking views or the syrupy sweet maple candies. It's the kids. The absolutely brainy, brawny, brilliant kids who are mad about STEM/STEAM! Meet Newton Nuttybot. You'll recognize him by his mechanical moustache, gear-shaped glasses, and a hat that spins faster than a tornado when he gets excited. Which is often, because Newton is always on some wacky science adventure with his army of clever New Hampshire whiz-kids. Whether they're designing dainty drones to deliver donuts or building bio-luminescent unicorns that light up in the dark, these kids are always knee-deep in some crazy STEM/STEAM project. Newton and his gang believe in learning by doing. And oh boy, do they do a lot! They've built everything, from AI-choreographed musicals to robot chefs that can whip up a mean mac 'n' cheese! But it's not always gears and gizmos. Sometimes, they dive into the amazing world of numbers and patterns, cracking codes that even the smartest adults can't. Other times, they're exploring the wonders of biology, turning their backyards into magical jungles of strange and fascinating creatures. With Newton Nuttybot and the New Hampshire kids, science, technology, engineering, arts, and math aren't just school subjects. They're tickets to a world of fun, adventure, and endless imagination! So, buckle up, dear reader, because in this state, STEM/STEAM is not just a study. It's a super exciting, ever-evolving, laughter-filled journey!

Judy Bush’s passion for beads started as a young child when she’d watch her mother in the evenings stringing beads before the days of television. Over the last 30 years, it has grown into a thriving business: JuBi Gems. Judy creates stunning necklaces and earrings featuring semi-precious stones. In addition to her business, Judy works for UNH Cooperative Extension as an Educator in Merrimack County, New Hampshire. She teaches a variety of courses, from family and parenting classes to nutrition and sewing. Judy also coordinates the Strengthening NH Communities initiative. Through this work, she became interested in social capital, which is the concept that people who work, play, and share common interests together are healthier, happier, and live longer. Ultimately, their collective actions make a difference in the world.
