Written like a magazine with short reading areas followed by "Ask & Answer" essential questions, the book focuses on reading comprehension and reasoning skills while also teaching about technology then and now. . . This book is anything but dull and definitely not textbooky".School Library Journal Series Made Simple"These sprightly biography anthologies spotlight five women whose curiosity and determination led them to break barriers and change perceptions. QR codes support information relayed in time lines, archive photos, reflective questions, sidebars, and pull quotes. The codes are used to their very best effect, sending readers to news reports, archival video, websites, TEDx talks, and even a webcomic. Each link is listed in the backmatter. The five or six activities per book range from simple observation to rather involved projects and forgo detailed instructions, instead encouraging readers to make choices and assemble materials and create their own challenges. Engineers is a standout for showcasing little-known stories like water safety pioneer Ellen Swallow Richards, while Programmers has the best activities and uses real programming tools.

Glossary. Timeline. Index. Highly Recommended"Praise for other titles by Alicia Klepeis Explore Makerspace! With 25 Great Projects "Author Alicia Klepeis and illustrator Matt Aucoin demonstrate how a design and engineering center can work with ordinary materials and not much technology. . .Many of the activities, stand out in that they 1) are more open-ended than the typical classroom science lab session and 2) they employ more art. Ideally, given the materials and the book, students should be able to complete most of the "makerspace" projects with little if any teacher direction."
