Synopsis
A modern fairy tale that conveys the joy of tinkering and calls for self-determined use of software.
The famous inventor Zangemann lives in a huge villa high above the city. Adults and children alike love his inventions and are desperate to have them. But then something happens: when Zangemann wants to take another close-up look at his inventions during a walk through the city, a child hits him in the shin with the skateboard. That hurts! Enraged, the inventor makes a momentous decision . . . The clever girl Ada sees through what is going on. Together with her friends, she forges a plan.
This illustrated children's book tells the story of the famous inventor Zangemann and the girl Ada, a curious tinkerer. Ada begins to experiment with hardware and software, and in the process realizes how crucial it is for her and others to control technology.
Ada & Zangemann will inspire children's interest in tinkering and encourage shaping technology.
