Join Lucy on her Engineering Adventures!

These rhyming picture books introduce children to building and HVAC engineering through the various outings of a curious young girl, Lucy. Help her find unique solutions to STEM problems and see if you’d like to be an engineer too!

What lights them up? Do they need to be tall?”

In the first book of the series, Lucy visits an unfinished building, where her father uses a metaphor of the human body to explain the building's beams and columns, electrical system, and HVAC ducts.
