I Look Like a Scientist 5-Day Book-Companion Curriculum
I Look Like a Scientist (Childrens Book)
STEM identity research shows that representation matters for how kids see themselves in science long-term. Science/STEM identity is often described as seeing yourself, and being seen by others, as a “science person,” built through competence (what you know), performance (what you do), and recognition (who affirms you).
For girls and other underrepresented students, early exposure to images, stories, and role models that reflect their lives strengthens their identity, boosts their sense of belonging, and supports their persistence in STEM over time.
In this book, you will meet twenty amazing girls who are exploring the wonders of science! With vibrant illustrations and empowering rhymes for young readers, this book celebrates inclusion in STEM and inspires every child to see themselves as the scientist they already are. The book concludes with simple parent activities to support young learners as they explore. Hardcover available on Lulu; paperback available on Amazon.
