Why do engineers fire chickens at airplane windshields? Why did a woodpecker ground a space shuttle? And how did a melted candy bar lead to the microwave oven? This illustrated STEM book for kids answers those questions and many more. It shows young readers what engineers really do, how they think, and why breaking things on purpose is one of the most important parts of the job.
Kids ages 10 to 14, and curious readers as young as 8, will discover the many kinds of engineering. Civil engineers design bridges and the water systems that reach their faucets. Mechanical engineers build machines, from car engines to escalators. Biomedical engineers create prosthetic hands and cochlear implants, aerospace engineers send spacecraft into space, and software engineers write the code that runs video games and traffic lights. Readers learn the engineering design process step by step, from brainstorming and building a prototype to testing it until it breaks and trying again.
Real stories make the ideas stick. Readers spend a day as a biomedical engineer building a prosthetic hand for an eleven-year-old who wants to tie his own shoes. They find out how a college student’s homework question helped save a New York skyscraper, why the Tacoma Narrows Bridge twisted itself apart in 1940, and how Bubble Wrap started as wallpaper nobody wanted. They meet engineering heroes, including Emily Warren Roebling, who saw the Brooklyn Bridge to completion, and Mary Jackson, NASA’s first Black female engineer. They also meet Margaret Hamilton, whose software helped land astronauts on the Moon, Nobel Prize winner Shuji Nakamura, and William Kamkwamba, who built a windmill from scrap as a teenager.
The book is honest about the challenges as well as the rewards. It covers the long hours, the tough design reviews, and the responsibility of keeping people safe. Along the way it serves up world records, myth-busting, odd engineering traditions, and hands-on activities kids can try this week, like the Marshmallow Challenge. A glossary, questions engineers ask, and a list of books, websites, competitions, and organizations help readers keep exploring.
Part of the award-winning So You Want To Be A… career exploration series, this book is a natural fit for STEM classrooms, homeschool science units, career days, and library collections. It also makes a thoughtful gift for any kid who loves building, tinkering, coding, robotics, or taking things apart to see how they work. Parents and teachers will find plenty to talk about, too.

Derecho al desistimiento
Instructions for revocation
Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods
Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
Criteria for exclusion or expiry
The revocation right is not available for contracts
-
for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;

for delivery of alcoholic drinks, whose price was agreed at the time of concluding the contract, which however can be delivered 30 days after the conclusion of the contract at the earliest and whose current value depends on the fluctuations in the market, on which the entrepreneur has no influence;
