What if you took the skills of design thinking and problem solving and applied them to books for kids?
Vicky Fang is a children’s book author with a background as a product designer (she worked at Google & Intel). She helped create things like cars that talk to each other, robots you can build at home, and games you can play with your voice. She started writing to support the growing need for early coding education, particularly for girls and kids of color. Her debut books, LAYLA & THE BOTS (Scholastic early chapter book series) and INVENT-A-PET (Sterling picture book), are launched in Spring 2020 and feature courageous and innovative girls in STEAM.
