Why is zero considered the most dangerous number? How did ancient Egyptians measure the world with just a simple stick? What was the math error that caused a NASA rocket to blow up?

Are you ready for an amazing adventure? The Change Makers series of books will build in children a strong sense of inquiry — to arm them with knowledge in S.T.E.A.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) to tackle this brave new world of unknowns.
