Story books to spark your child's interest in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math)
The Story Behind Nerni and Friends
Hi, I'm a PhD Bioengineer and robot repair guy for my day job. I created Nerni and Friends as bedtime stories to entertain my daughters. Over the years, we've made up many stories together. I wrote down and illustrated our favorites so my wife could read them to the kids when I had to be out of town.
My ulterior motive, however, is to tell entertaining stories that get kids interested in science and engineering.
