Girls Can Be Engineers

Girls Can Be Engineers is a beautifully illustrated children's book created to encourage girls to explore Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM). The book stars a young girl named Hannah who is in search of a career for her school's upcoming Career Day. Each time she chooses a career, such as a veterinarian, pilot, and archeologist, she becomes discouraged because her chosen careers seem to be only for boys. With the help of her mother, a structural engineer, she is reminded that she can do anything. Themes include: Challenging Stereotypes and Expanding Horizons: The careers highlighted in the story include pilots, where women make up only 4%, and archaeologists, where women represent 47%. The children in the book form their ideas about which careers women can pursue based on what they see in real life, such as in videos or their surroundings. The book challenges these perceptions, emphasizing that girls can pursue any career they are passionate about. The Power of Role Models: Hannah's journey in the book is significantly influenced by her mother, a structural engineer, who serves as a powerful role model. Through her mother's encouragement and example, Hannah learns that women can excel in STEM fields and beyond. This Book is Recommended for Ages 3-7.
