A New IEEE STEM Book Series for Tweens from TryEngineering
IEEE TryEngineering is dedicated to inspiring intellectual curiosity in children. The technologies shaping our world, including in the realms of artificial intelligence, electric vehicles, and ocean exploration, are evolving rapidly. Helping young learners understand the concepts is essential to preparing the next generation of problem-solvers, creators, and engineers. TryEngineering has…
IEEE TryEngineering has launched a STEM book series for children aged 8 to 12, titled "Tomorrow’s Technology With TryEngineering, Powered by IEEE." The series aims to make complex technology concepts more accessible and engaging for young learners, encouraging them to develop problem-solving skills and critical thinking abilities. Developed in collaboration with IEEE societies and the Transportation Electrification Council, the books are available in ebook and video format on tryengineering.org.
The collection features six books, each focusing on a specific technology and its real-world applications:
1. Artificial Intelligence: The Future of Smart Technology examines AI's role in streaming services, search engines, and healthcare, while addressing ethical concerns such as bias, deepfakes, and privacy.
2. Communication Technology: From Morse Code to Smartphones traces the evolution of communication systems, from ancient smoke signals to modern smartphones, and discusses the potential of future innovations like 6G networks.
3. Electric Vehicles: Powering the Future of Transportation explores the development of e-cars, e-bikes, e-scooters, and electrified trains, providing insight into the roles of engineers in creating smarter transportation systems.
4. Ocean Engineering: Protecting Our Ocean Environments highlights the importance of ocean ecosystems and how engineers study and protect these environments using submersibles, floats, and other technologies.
5. Semiconductors: The Building Blocks of Modern Electronics delves into the world of microchips and semiconductors, explaining their role in powering everyday electronic devices and the innovative potential of semiconductor engineering.
6. Signal Power: The Hidden Waves Behind Modern Tech investigates how engineers manipulate signals to enhance technology performance, from improving phone calls to monitoring medical devices.
The series can be used in classrooms, libraries, or at home to help children connect STEM concepts to everyday technologies like computers and smartphones. By engaging with these books, young readers can develop a deeper understanding of the technologies shaping our world and be inspired to think like engineers and innovators. The Tomorrow’s Technology With TryEngineering series is available through Amazon, Bookshop, and Lerner.
