Abstract	Science teachers today need engaging projects to help students build 21st-century skills (NSTA 2011). Contemporary young adult literature (YA lit) can form the basis of one such project. YA lit--a genre of fiction geared toward 2 to 20-year-olds--opens a powerful avenue to connect with students and cover science topics in greater depth. YA lit is especially powerful when combined with technology--which is ubiquitous in the lives of young people today. This article provides three engaging projects science teachers can use to help students develop environmental consciousness and global awareness--both important 21st-century skills--using YA lit and technology.
