MUSE Magazine: Layers of Meaning
MUSE is a discovery magazine for children and teens ages 9-14. It takes intellectual curiosity seriously, while never taking itself too seriously. The editors seek fresh and entertaining articles from the fields of science, technology, engineering, art, and math. Timeliness and trustworthiness is essential, but humor, irreverence, and atypical angles are also hallmarks of MUSE. We seek articles that describe how things and processes work, and we look for claims or assertions to be backed up with evidence. Articles, interviews, experiments, photo essays, science fiction, infographics.
