Everyday STEM Technology - Machines (Paperback) - Jenny Jacoby

STEM - where we see it, how we use it, and why you should care.

Throughout human history, humans have been making tools and machines, from the simple to highly complex, to help us make the most of the world around us and use them to our benefit. Discover more with Everyday STEM Technology: Machines.

Explore a world full of natural forces and innovation. From the first tools used in the Stone Age to the machines of the future. Watch machines in space, observe robots doctors and meet the innovators and scientists who invented the machines that have improved our lives. Readers can also carry out experiments at home.

With easy-to- understand text written by Jenny Jacoby, fun callouts and lots of colourful artworks, photos, and diagrams, readers can best explore where we encounter geology and why it's even important at all.

The Everyday STEM series makes STEM relevant to tweens. Instead of telling kids STEM is important and is the key to their "future success," these books, including Everyday STEM Science - Physics, show readers how we use science, technology, engineering and maths in our everyday lives. While the topics sound high-level and complex, this series makes these concepts age-appropriate and accessible. So, while we can't promise to teach 9 to 11-year-olds quantum physics, we can explain in the simplest terms the practical applications of STEM.

Robbie Cathro is an Illustrator & Storyteller living in Bristol, UK, where he creates fun and lively work from his desk in The Island Studios. He loves bright colours, limited palettes, atmospheric textures and layered characters. All of which are inspired from the animation he loves, the folk tales that he reads as well as the small stories you find in the corner of your day-to-day. He is the illustrator of Everyday STEM Science - Geology and Everyday STEM Technology - Machines and has worked with Airbnb, The Sunday Times, The Natural History Museum, Aquila Magazine and Anorak Magazine, where he has produced children's activity spreads, editorial imagery and illustrated narratives. He loves nothing more than getting a brief through that covers a subject from all the way across the world - whether that's the animals and inhabitants of Yosemite Park, Chinese Inventors, Victorian Ghosts or girls being rescued from towers by giant owls.
