Introducing STEM Junior, a little character with some big ideas and a bunch of tech-wizard pals. If you think technology is all about the future, you're right. But it's all about the past, too. Almost everything around you exists because of some amazing techno breakthrough: your computer, the microwave oven, the fridge; lasers, rockets and robots. In Basher's STEM Junior: Technology, you'll meet 40 vibrant personalities who are just itching to tell you more. Listen to their stories and you will be a tech legend yourself in no time. And that's not all: "Tech Legend" boxes bring characters from the history of technology to life; "Applying Science" boxes explain key practical uses; "Fast Forward" boxes take a peek at future technology; and "Say What?" boxes put key vocabulary right where you need it. With over 100 of Simon Basher's unique illustrations, Basher's Stem Junior: Technology will help give 7- to 9-year olds a solid foundation in the key topics that make up the core STEM subject of technology.
