Publisher's Synopsis
The career book series you wish you had as a kid.
Introduce kids ages 8 to 12 to a real woman in a ridiculously fun STEM career that could change their future while inspiring curiosity and confidence in Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math.
Part true-story biography, part STEM activity book, TRACEY, THEME PARK DESIGNER celebrates the story of Tracey, a science-minded artist who gets to dream up thrill rides every day-it's her job! Tracey believes you can be both creative and scientific at the same time, and that it's ok to ask questions when you don't know something.
TRACEY, THEME PARK DESIGNER includes:
- FEMALE ROLE MODEL: In short chapters and a fun narrative, young readers learn how Tracey grew from a curious kid into a confident designer who works alongside scientist and engineers.
- FUN FACTS: Readers are introduced to art basics and learn how Tracey uses her love of science, history, and imagination to create unforgettable experiences kids around the world love!
- STEAM ACTIVITIES: Kids complete hands-on STEAM activities like how to sketch their very own ride idea plus step-by-step drawing techniques that help them think like an artist.
Why do female career role models in STEM matter? Women make up just 27% of the STEM workforce. 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!
