Product Details
Overview
From computer scientist, astrophysicist, and dreamer, Terysa Ridgeway, comes a story of two starry-eyed sisters who shine in STEM together!
Eight-year-old Terysa is a born problem-solver with a galaxy of ideas—and she's determined to win the school science fair. There's just one tiny problem… she has too many brilliant ideas to choose from!
Luckily, her big sister, Shana, is an astronomy whiz. When Shana shares the inspiring story of Dorothy Vaughan—NASA's first Black supervisor and a trailblazing computer programming pioneer—Terysa is inspired. Together, the sisters dive into coding, teamwork, and a little trial-and-error to design a project that moves all on its own. It's creative. It's unique. It's out of this world. But will it be enough to win first place?
Perfect for readers who love:
- STEM-inspired stories for kids.
- Strong, curious girls in science.
- Coding and beginner programming concepts.
- Inspiring real-life role models like Dorothy Vaughan.
- Sister relationships and teamwork.
