An annotated list of US titles. A splendid mix of fiction and nonfiction female-centered STEM books for children and teens, just in time for Women's History Month. The majority of these titles were selected for their dual-purpose qualities, as they not only explore and celebrate the rich legacy of female scientists and thinkers but also have the ability to introduce or rekindle a love for STEM subjects.

By giving students an idea of what it is like to walk in someone else's shoes, all literature that deals with big ideas and emotions is good for teaching empathy. Still, I have found a few types of stories that I go to when I really want to get my students working to think about how other people live.

Just imagine your favourite genre was created in the world it describes… What would it look like? What would it be made out of, and who or what created it? What ingredients would make up the ink, paper, and binding? Each fiction genre contains a variety of elements that could create a unique book… See what we came up with below and let us know if you have any more ideas!

Computers intersect with every aspect of kids' lives, but most kids don't understand how they work. Through coding, students build essential literacy skills, gain an understanding of logic and sequence, and learn the mechanics of iteration. These tools support project-based learning and give students the freedom to create, collaborate, hack, remix, and tinker with their own unique designs. Using these picks, kids can unlock the logic of code and the basics of programming, turning computers into tools to make new things.
