In this series, we try to keep everyone updated–including ourselves!–on the latest STEM-related book releases, specifically those that largely target younger readers (around 10 years old and younger).
This illustrated picture book presents the story of Katherine Johnson, Christine Darden, Dorothy Vaughan, and Mary Jackson: 4 women who overcame gender and racial barriers in order to help NASA put astronauts in space.
Mae Among the Stars is another book designed to get children, especially girls, thinking about space and encouraging them to think big.
The story follows Mae Jemison, the first African American woman to travel in space.
Goldie Blox and the Best Friend Fail! is the latest in the series that focuses on Goldie Blox and her STEM-loving adventures.
In this iteration, Goldie attempts to throw her best friend an awesome party using her STEM knowledge. However, sometimes things can get out of hand.
This book is designed for 4 years and younger. It uses interactive elements (flaps and tabs) to engage readers and possibly instill a love for paleontology.
The book also includes elements of cooperation, as well as illustrations that double as design sketches.
This former Kickstarter project features Ed the LED, and Ed is trying to learn how to turn himself on before night falls.
In 56 pages, the book is able to lead kids on a fun adventure while introducing basic knowledge about electricity.
