Page 7 - Cole Champion Takes On the Villains - Cole Champion: STEM Superhero

STEM SUPERHERO

I was pumped for the Challenge at first. I was

excited to compete using my STEM knowledge—

that’s science, technology, engineering, and math.

But Mom doesn’t believe in the power of STEM.

She wanted me to call in sick! She’s only letting

me come cheer on my friends if I pretend to have

a “real” superpower and don’t actually compete.

Mom pulls forward as the minivan with the

pro-villain bumper sticker finally turns into the

school parking lot. We’re stopped by a man in a

black suit and completely opaque black shades.

He’s holding a clipboard.

“Name?” the man in black asks.

Mom lowers her window. “Amanda Champion,

principal of HERO Junior High.”
