I created an Introduction to Natural History Museums course geared towards introducing undergraduate students to careers in Science Technology Engineering Art and Mathematics (STEAM) through hands on research-based projects. As part of my research, I am interested
in knowing if similar courses exist and understanding the goals of those courses. </span></div>
