Synopsis

The National Science Teachers Association has chosen "Dream, Invent, Create" to be an NSTA Recommends© book. http://www.nsta.org/recommends/ViewProduct.aspx?ProductID=22016

The 40 page, 8" x 8" publication "Dream, Invent, Create" is a perfect way to introduce engineering to kids in elementary school and early middle school.

It will help them make a connection between the everyday world and engineering - and excite them about the possibilities.

The first 32 pages refer to the many disciplines of engineering, using colorful and whimsical illustrations and fun, engaging poetry and rhymes.

Kids will learn that engineers create rockets, sky scrapers, video games, robots, sports equipment and much more. They will see that engineering is all around us, and that engineers make the world a better place.

Fun facts about each type of engineering discipline wrap around the borders of the pages, providing more information for more advanced readers.

Next comes a scavenger hunt to find items in the illustrations of the book, a word search puzzle, and a crossword puzzle.

In addition, there's a page called "Think About It" with many thought-provoking questions to spark discussions about the role of engineering in our lives. Two creative writing assignments are also included. Educators could use this page in the classroom or as a part of after-school activities.

The book ends with a simple, hands-on engineering activity (using common kitchen products) that anyone can take part in!
