Engineers Making a Difference - Inventors, Technicians, Scientists and Tech Entrepreneurs Changing the World, and How You Can... Engineers Making a Difference - Inventors, Technicians, Scientists and Tech Entrepreneurs Changing the World, and How You Can Join Them (Hardcover)
Shini Somara; Illustrated by Manual Sumberac, Adam Allsuch Boardman
R410 Discovery Miles 4 100 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Engineers are the superheroes of the real world. They use their problem-solving skills to face down the biggest challenges we have, from creating clean energy to designing prosthetic limbs, from eliminating food shortages to programming AI to exploring the surface of Mars. In this book you'll meet 46 engineers, from apprentices and lab technicians to university professors and start-up CEOs and hear what problems they are solving and why they love their jobs. Engineers are changing the world. Will you be one of them?

Everyday STEM Science - Physics (Paperback): Shini Somara Everyday STEM Science - Physics (Paperback)
Shini Somara; Illustrated by Luna Valentine
R206 Discovery Miles 2 060 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Discover how physics is part of our daily lives with Everyday STEM Science - Physics. Explore how physics is all around us! Learn how physics keeps a plane in the air, find out about light and dark matter, and meet the scientists who have brought physics to life, including Shohini Gose, Michael Faraday and Vera Rubin. Readers can also carry out cool physics experiments at home. With easy-to-understand text written by STEM expert Dr Shini Somara and lots of colourful artworks, photos and diagrams, readers can best explore where we encounter physics and why it's even important at all. The Everyday STEM series makes science relevant to tweens. Instead of telling kids STEM is important and is the key to their future success, these books 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.
