Inspire problem solving. Develop persistence. Cultivate a positive attitude towards failure.
More than 40 tasks and problems! Projects on a variety of topics and very interesting for curious young readers.
With this (big!) book of projects and together with Rosa Rivera (who really wants to become an engineer!) you can come up with solutions to problems (serious and funny), brainstorm and sketch out idea after idea, draw your inventions, build (simple and complex) mechanisms and structures and not be afraid of mistakes!
"Rosa Rivera, Engineer" - the book that formed the basis of this book of projects, became literally the number one book on such an interesting topic as engineering specialty for children, and the number one book on the topic of how to help children overcome the state of "I-can't-do-anything-and-never-will-succeed".
In the great book of Rosa Rivera's projects, Andea Beti and David Roberts focused on the work of an engineer: how the idea of building something comes to mind, how different ways of implementing the idea come to mind, how a trial model is made, how to check whether everything worked out as it should, and how, without being embarrassed by failures, to try to fix what did not work.
The authors designed the Big Book of Projects in the style of the first book about Rosa Rivera, an engineer. On the pages of this workbook, children will meet the heroes they loved from other books by Andrea Beti and David Roberts (Hector the architect, Ada Twist, an experimenter, and their classmates).
And if a child loves to tinker, comes up with different inventions, then, by joining Rosa Rivera, he will learn who an engineer is, how his work is organized, how to work on a project. And he will learn to try to do it, to cross out everything when it didn’t work out, and to try to do it again, and again, and again!
