Stem jobs in fashion and beauty
Carla Mooney
- Reading
- As you read, invite the reader to pick one career and trace which STEM skills it uses; then compare that with the book’s systems idea.
- Themes
- STEM careers in fashion and beauty: The book describes fashion design using technology and scientific work developing beauty and skin-care products. It presents these fields as examples of how STEM skills can be used in industry.
- Materials and connected systems: The book discusses recycled and organically grown materials for designs and introduces how a small change in one part of a system might affect another. These topics are presented as examples and concepts to understand; the book’s evaluation of particular material choices is not established.
- Worth knowing
- The book touches on laboratory development of face creams and sunscreen, alongside fashion materials; a reader may want to discuss what testing and product development involve.
