For the Love of STEM, Robots, and Girl Power。
AZ is a young girl that finds herself in a robot building competition。 Can she overcome crashes, explosions, and hackers to beat school bully and three-time champ, Dalk?
Smart and strong is the new pretty。 In this funny, action-packed story about STEM for kids, the talented AZ fights gender stereotypes and enters a school robot building competition。
With the help of her mentor, Lucia, and her quirky friends, Li and 10, AZ works hard, solves puzzles, and deals with disasters。 Together they learn the importance of friendship and collaboration, and build a robot named Ada--and confidence and leadership skills along the way。
Calling all stemettes, techgirls, and girls who code。 Written to raise awareness about the challenges faced by women in science and other male dominated fields of STEM, She's Building a Robot brings a diversity of voices from different socioeconomic and ethnic backgrounds。
More importantly, it gives girls in science the opportunity to relate to strong, smart characters and real-life heroines, proving that sometimes reality is more inspiring than fiction。
