What types of robots will the future bring? How do biomedical devices
help patients? Have you ever wondered how your phone works? In
Engineering: Cool Women Who Design, readers ages 9 to 12 meet three
women who are working hard in the engineering field. Elsa Garmire has
designed many devices that use lasers and light. Amy Kerdok designs
medical and surgical devices. Anna Stork co-founded LuminAID Lab, a
company that produces solar lighting products for the developing world
and beyond.
Engineering combines high-interest content with links to online
primary sources and essential questions that further expand kids'
knowledge and understanding of a topic they come in contact with every
day. Nomad Press books in the Girls in Science series supply a bridge
between girls' interests and their potential futures by investigating
science careers and introducing women who have succeeded in science.
Compelling stories of real-life engineers provide readers with role
models that they can look toward as examples of how it can be done.
