STEM Author Visits & Virtual Visits

I have extensive experience working with preschool and elementary students, and have Massachusetts teaching certifications for grades 1-8 science and 8-12 biology. I’m happy to tie in my author talks with your current science curriculum.

For virtual and in-person school visits, STEM programs, and other event requests: email me

“Students and teachers LOVED Artemis Roehrig’s recent Skype visit! During her Skype visit, Artemis used her expertise as an author and a scientist to weave fascinating facts, humor, dialogue, and hand motions into a unforgettable presentation that students not only learned from, but enjoyed. Hearing Artemis read Do Jellyfish Like Peanut Butter? Amazing Sea Creature Facts and having the opportunity to ask her questions about her own writing and scientific endeavors were the perfect introductions to the third graders’ entry into researching animals and writing their own nonfiction pieces. Artemis’ enthusiasm for science, writing, and reading is contagious!” ~ Rebecca Bishop, librarian, Magnolia Elementary

VIRTUAL VISITS:

I offer paid 30-40 min virtual author talks and 20 min paid interactive story times. I also offer a very limited number of free virtual Q&A sessions. If you are interested in a different program than those listed, just ask! Please fill out this request form.

These are usually available on World Read Aloud Day, but I occasionally volunteer at other times or on a case-by-case basis as well. Please fill out this request form.
