Meet a real-life engineer—then become one yourself! An award-winning STEM book for ages 8-12.
Part true-story biography, part STEM activity book, AMANDA, TOY ENGINEER celebrates the story of Amanda, a real woman in engineering who gets to play with toys every day—it’s her job! Amanda believes you can make the impossible possible one step at a time.
AMANDA, TOY ENGINEER includes:
- FEMALE ROLE MODEL: In short chapters and a fun narrative, young readers learn how Amanda grew from a curious kid into a confident mechanical engineer.
- FUN FACTS: Readers are introduced to engineering basics and how problem solving, creativity, and design come together to make the impossible possible.
- STEAM ACTIVITIES: Kids complete hands-on STEAM activities like how to engineer their very own toy idea which flexes their innovation and inventor muscles.
Why do female career role models in STEM matter? Women make up just 27% of the STEM workforce while less than 15% of engineers are women. STEM careers have higher salaries and higher rates of employment while tackling some of the world’s most pressing issues, which are currently lacking a female perspective.
Welcome all kids into the world of STEM with The Look Up Series. Celebrate female role models by sharing extraordinary women's stories and career paths with a side of some serious girl power. These real-life stories feature not famous women, but real women who can become your kid’s childhood heroes. Let’s get to work with The Look Up Series!
“Amanda, Toy Engineer is an informative, fun, and friendly insider’s look at what goes into toy design…. ” - Publisher’s Weekly
