Summary

"Do you like solving problems? Are you dying to automate even the simplest of processes? Do you always need to know how things? Programming is the process of breaking complex tasks into a set of instructions. This is what programmers do when they write code that will make your computer do what you tell it to! In Gutsy Girls Go for Science: Programmers with STEM Projects for Kids , readers ages 8 to 11 meet five female programmers who made revolutionary discoveries and inventions that changed the way people used technology! Ada Lovelace, Grace Hopper, The ENIAC Women, Dorothy Vaughn, and Margaret Hamilton all broke through barriers of both gender and race to succeed in a field they loved. -- Through hands-on STEM projects such as designing a web page, creating a prototype, and learning about variables, kids gain critical thinking skills just like the ones necessary to succeed in field. -- Essential questions, cool facts about female programmers, and links to online resources all reinforce high-level learning. -- Using a fun narrative style, engaging illustrations combined with photography, fascinating facts, essential questions, and hands-on projects, this book deepens readers' creative thinking skills." -- Goodreads.com
