Martha visits the exceptionally bright students and teachers at West Hanover.
Looking for a STEM-tastic School Visit?
Martha really appreciated the VIP parking at Newport Elementary School.
Then you are lookin’ at me!
Based on my 2020 nonfiction book Born Curious: 20 Girls Who Grew Up to Be Awesome
Scientists, my all-new school presentation covers a variety of scientists past and present, and a range of topics – from fruit flies to pulsars, killer asteroids to Komodo dragons.
Beyond fun facts and figures, the show – like the book -- encourages the scientists of tomorrow to be the curious, active and imaginative problem
solvers of today.
Born Curious isn’t my only STEM-tastic title. ZAP!
and the two Astrotwins books, Project Blastoff and Project Rescue, all middle-grade fiction, also contain abundant science content as well as extensive backmatter.
Use the paper airplane tab above to contact me any time for details. Visits may be virtual (using Skype or Zoom, for example) or in person.
I can’t wait to meet your students!
“Martha Freeman visited our school on a cool March day this school year and warmed both students and staff with her contagious love of what she does — which is to write books that zoom right in on the places that children’s minds go. One of the best things about the visit (aside from the delightful personality of Martha and the liveliness of her presentation) was the fact that she has written books for a variety of age levels: Mrs. Wow Never Wanted a Cow for the youngest kids; the Trouble With... and Who Stole... books for the lower elementary kids, and even a couple of books that are sophisticated enough to appeal to our higher elementary kids and our middle schoolers.”
“Martha Freeman was an enthusiastic school visitor who told entertaining true stories from her life experiences, many of which influenced her writing. She relates very well to children and her presentations helped motivate students to enjoy research, reading and writing. Months after her visit her books are still popular and in demand. My students often ask when her next book will be published!”
