Overview

She points at the screen and asks: but how does it actually know? You pause. Because the honest answer is: you are not entirely sure either. Computer Engineering for Kids answers the questions children actually ask about technology. Not how to code. How it all actually works. Why the internet does not fall apart when a cable breaks. What a computer is doing when it says it is thinking. Where your message goes when you press send. Why a website knows your name before you type it. Every chapter opens with a nine-year-old named Zara asking a question she refuses to leave unanswered. By the end of each chapter she understands it completely. So will your child. Six big concepts. Six hands-on activities using things from around the house. Six sets of surprising facts they will repeat to everyone at dinner. And a final chapter that is entirely theirs: a journal, a quiz to find which branch of computing fits the way they already think, and a certificate with a line for their signature. The book closes with two sentences. You understand how computers work. Now go and build something.
