I am fortunate enough to be the mom to two amazing daughters and they both happen to love science. My older daughter was so fascinated with microbiology in 6th grade science class that she used her birthday money to purchase a stuffed paramecium and euglena. (It’s OK…you can google it. I had to, too!) Their dad and I both have science backgrounds, so it makes me very happy that my daughters love learning about Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics – or STEM – topics.
But, did you know that while women make up 48% of the US workforce, they are only 24% of the STEM workforce? Young girls have untapped talent and potential to change the world through a STEM career, but how do we cultivate that interest at a young age? The creators of Smore are trying to do just that with their magazine created for girls ages 7 – 12 who love science. Every issue has nearly 50 pages of beautifully illustrated content, including science-related cartoons, how-to articles, trivia, reader contributions, interviews with female scientists, and a pullout poster. Plus, the entire magazine is ad-free.
Both my girls really enjoyed checking out the inaugural issue of Smore. The articles and topics, complete with eye-catching illustrations and photographs, were perfect for my 8 year old to understand and enjoy, but detailed enough to keep my older daughter’s attention as well. As a mom, I love the educational content packaged in a high quality, fun-to-read magazine – and did I mention AD FREE?!
Smore magazine has six issues a year and is available in print and digital versions. So if you have a young girl in your life, ignite her brilliance with a subscription to Smore magazine. For more information, visit www.smoremagazine.com.

My daughter absolutely loves science of any kind. She has, since for the last 2 years now wanted to become a forensic scientist.
