21^st Century Skills and STEM together? Sure! netTrekker makes that connection and supplementary resources quick and easy to find. For example, do a keyword search for “science”. Check out the Subject Refinement Menu and look for “21^st Century Skills” in the list. When you refine by that choice, the resulting resources are based on the curricular area of Science and focused on the 21^st Century Skills framework. Today’s Site of the Day, You Innovate 21, is a great example of this example search in the high school tab:

This multimedia website helps students explore the relevance of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) topics in their lives today, and encourages them to consider a career in STEM in the future. After launching “You Innovate 21,” students will be taken to an animated city block where they can read an interactive graphic novel, view museum exhibits, enter virtual city shops, and answer brain teasers – all while applying and expanding their STEM knowledge!
