February 18 - 24 is National Engineers Week and February 22 was Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day. I am thrilled to host this giveaway for the Ellie, Engineer Prize Pack.
National Engineers Week theme is Inspiring Wonder and that's what STEM is all about. Science plays such an important role in our daily lives and this week along is a great time to share the importance of math, science and all things tech.
Written by Jackson Pearce Ellie, Engineer is about a girl who wears a tool belt and creates woodwork in her backyard workshop. I love this! This year my Goddess too woodworking and the thank you note to my daughter's teacher was thank you for letting my Goddess know that even GIRL'S CAN WEAR TOOLBELTS.
Illustrated with Ellie's sketches and plans, and including
backmatter with a fun how-to guide to tools, this is a STEM- and
friendship-powered story full of fun!
Designed to look
like Ellie’s notepad, with pencil-on-graph-paper illustrations of her projects
interspersed throughout the book, Ellie, Engineer inspires
creative and crafty girls to get hands-on with their imagination. Ellie’s
projects range from the simple (using a glass against a wall to amplify
sounds), to the practical (the doghouse), to the fantastical (a bedroom
security system featuring spikes) – encouraging readers to start small but
think big. Ellie’s parents support her engineering experiments, with important
safety tips sprinkled throughout, and her relationship with Kit is a glowing
example of positive female friendship. They share their hobbies – Ellie likes
to get her hands dirty, while Kit prefers ballet – reminding readers that
there’s no wrong way to be a girl. Ellie’s hand-drawn tool guide at the end
explains basic tools in accessible terms, rounding out this fun and funny
adventure, and giving girls everything they need to be their own Ellie!
