Happy Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month! AAPI Heritage observances started more than 40 years ago, when president Jimmy Carter formalized Public Law 95-419 and established a celebration of American citizens of Asian and Pacific Islander origin. Through the month of May, we will be highlighting the incredible contributions of AAPI innovators and engineers with a focus on STEM innovations and achievements.
Check out our digital STEM storybooks with hands-on activities featuring Asian and Pacific Islander characters, including Hikaru’s Toy Troubles and Yi Min’s Great Wall.
