Description

Author: Frances Durkin  |  Illustrator: The Boy Fitz Hammond

Fact-filled non-fiction that uncovers the who, where, why and how of historical technological inventions. From the magic of making music to lightbulb moments and tiny technology, discover the people and places behind 13 major technological breakthroughs that changed the world. You’ll read about what motivated them, why they did what they did, when they did it … and with whom! There is a glossary at the back of the book plus a ‘take it further’ activity on each page. Discover the human side of STEM!
