A fun way to learn the concept of Darwin's evolutionary tree with the Stardust version of this award-winning science game!

Go Extinct! Stardust Catches the Carnivores is a new special edition of the award-winning Go Extinct! tabletop card game, incorporating artwork and concepts from the Stardust series of science books for young readers. Players complete sets of animals based on actual genetic clades, working to collect the most sets by inferring the other player’s cards and identifying common ancestors on the evolutionary tree. By the end, players will deeply understand the amazing fact that every carnivoran alive today — from the house cat to the polar bear — descended from a single prehistoric ancestor, the miacid

So how did Go Extinct! and Stardust end up working together? Well, we've actually known each other for quite a while, and supported each other's efforts in making science, and evolution in particular, accessible to kids. In fact, Ariel, creator of Go Extinct!, was one of the primary scientist reviewers for the last Stardust book (you know, the one about evolution!), helping to make sure it presented sound science to its audience of young readers. Check out her work here: https://www.steamgalaxy.com/

We both work to inspire the next generation of scientists as we move forward, learning more and more about how the world around us works, how life got to be the way it is today, and how we can ensure that we are leaving future generations a healthy planet.

With so much in common, it seemed like a great idea to combine the award-winning concepts and gameplay of the original Go Extinct!with the charming artwork of Stardust Explores Earth's Wonders. The result is a game that will provide countless hours of enjoyment while presenting evolution in a fresh, easy-to-understand manner for fans of the original game as well as new players.

Everything in our solar system is made of stardust, including YOU!  My Name Is Stardust inspires passion for science, teaches concepts such as evolution, and helps children understand their connection to the cosmos. It is beautifully illustrated with 24 pages including a glossary of scientific terms. 

The book is written by 16-year old author and activist, Bailey Harris, and edited by Dr. Eric Meikle (Former Education Project Director at the National Center for Science Education).

Elle the Humanist is a beautifully illustrated book by 11-year-old Elle Harris, presenting humanist ideas and ethics in a way that's warm, welcoming, and accessible for young readers. It features a foreword by renowned philosopher and author Daniel Dennett.

Elle had a small problem. Growing up in a secular household, but in a community dominated by one religion, Elle was one of the few kids in her third-grade class who wasn't religious. When she talked to friends and classmates, she found that many of them had a hard time imagining someone who didn't go to church or pray. Some others wondered how Elle could know right from wrong without religious leaders or sacred books to tell her. The conversations Elle found herself having weren't judgmental or contentious, but the result of honest curiosity. After school, Elle would ask her dad to help her explain what she believed and how she felt in a way that would make sense to the other kids at school. From those talks came ideas that eventually became Elle the Humanist a warm, clearly expressed introduction to humanism for young readers.
