STEAM Tales: Around the World in 80 Days reimagines Jules Verne’s timeless adventure for young readers while weaving in 20 hands-on STEAM activities inspired by the story. As Phileas Fogg and Passepartout race around the globe, children are invited to pause between chapters to complete engaging experiments, puzzles, engineering challenges, and creative projects that connect the adventure to real-world concepts in science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics. Beautiful illustrations and age-appropriate storytelling make this classic accessible while encouraging active participation beyond the page. As children journey through the story and complete the activities, they naturally strengthen reading comprehension, vocabulary, scientific inquiry, creativity, and critical thinking while discovering how STEAM concepts apply to exploration, innovation, and the world around them.
