INTRODUCTION TO
THE WONDERS OF STEM FOR CURIOUS MINDS


 

A system of observations and experiments used to gain knowledge about how the universe works.

PICTURE OF ASTRONAUT

The knowledge of how to do things, solving problems, such as diseases, inventing new devices, and sending an astronaut to the moon.

PICTURE OF ROCKET SHIP

By using math and science, engineers create products and systems, and building structures, such as Disneyland and the Wizarding World of Wakanda in the Black Panther movie.

SYMBOLS OF STEM

Basic math has immediate practical applications, increasing mind, logic, and critical thinking skills, affecting everything we do in life.

 

UNCOVER THE PAST

PROTECT THE FUTURE

We forge a path forward...cultural enrichment beyond the classroom as curious children of all nationalities read about Black scientists, inventors, and scholars.

The Introduction to the Wonders of STEM for Curious Minds is designed to ignite your child’s imagination and inspire them to dream big. As they dive into the world of STEM, they'll explore the language of science, marvel at its wonders, and learn about the incredible contributions of Black geniuses in science and their groundbreaking achievements.

We celebrate the young minds who aspire to follow  in these trailblazers' footsteps, growing into the distinguished scientists and engineers of tomorrow.

It's never too early to encourage kids to reach for the stars!

Solid work. This is a well thought out and planned fun book. I enjoyed reading it and can envision kids and parents reading it together. This book is informative and will make a positive contribution. It's a go for me.

 The authors have created a wonderful resource for children 8-12. This book will appeal to children with great imaginations and curiosity.

Using effective descriptions and illustrations, the authors introduce young readers to the African American Geniuses of Science. This book will be a great resource to any classroom or home library.

I love how this book breaks down STEM and the different areas it entails. I love that there are black figures highlighted to inspire the reader to pursue a career in this field. There's a good balance of knowledge and life skills. Highly recommend!

This is awesome. Early in my career, I wondered why so few people looked like me in tech and even fewer engineers. I think one of the biggest reasons is that there is generally a big gap in info about STEM, which leads to less promotion and encouragement. Resources like this are needed.

The author’s ability to capture the beauty of science and some of its inventions by renowned scientists, individually or as a team left me inspired and enlightened. Each paragraph brought me into a better position to appreciate the relevance of black heritage in science.

Illustrators/Writers

Our contributors are committed to promoting redemption and STEM education through the power of storytelling and creativity. This website features engaging stories and illustrations crafted by prisoners and ex-prisoners, offering them a chance to contribute positively to society while building a path to new opportunities. The mission is twofold: to provide children with entertaining and educational content and to foster the rehabilitation and reintegration of prisoners who have transformed their lives.

 

We believe in the talent and potential of our authors and illustrators—some of the brightest minds within the U.S. prison system—and we deeply value their contributions. Explore our growing collection of children’s books and join us in supporting the education of young minds while working toward dismantling the school-to-prison pipeline. We can create lasting change for the next generation and those seeking redemption.
