A beautifully-illustrated tale of a girl and her dream to become a great engineer.
Where some people see rubbish, Rosie Revere sees inspiration. Alone in her room at night, shy Rosie constructs great inventions from odds and ends. Hot dog dispensers, helium pants, python-repelling cheese hats. Rosie’s gizmos would astound—if she ever let anyone see them.
Inspired by Rosie Revere, Mrs. Lang's class experienced engineering first hand, first designing, and then building their very own creations. The kids then "stepped into" Rosie's world and shared their creations in the video below.
