Ask engineers when they first learned what engineering actually was, and the answer often isn’t until high school—or even college. Despite early interests in building, tinkering, and problem-solving, many kids grow up without seeing the word engineer attached to something or someone they can relate to.

That’s exactly what Engineer Someday sets out to change.

This bilingual picture book by longtime STEM advocate Jay Flores introduces children to a world of engineering careers through colorful illustrations and playful rhymes.

Each page highlights children in learning environments with different engineering professions, presented in both English and Spanish.

By combining diverse language and imagery, the book helps children from all backgrounds, especially Hispanic and Latino communities, see themselves in roles like civil engineer, biomedical engineer, or software engineer.
