Pippa and Dronie

Pippa and Dronie is a beautifully illustrated book for young readers aged 5 to 9, celebrating diversity in STEM, drones and geospatial science. The book introduces children to six real-life female role models doing amazing things in their work with drones. As they travel around Australia, Pippa and Dronie gain confidence as they help our female scientists to gather data to help solve real-world challenges. Dronie flies through whale snot to collect DNA samples (urgh yuck, but kinda cool), maps coral on the Great Barrier Reef, and in Kakadu National Park a crocodile even tries to jump up and grab her! The reader will: - Meet real scientists and drone professionals and explore what they do. - Be exposed to great STEM role models and the real-world applications of drones. - Learn how technology can be utilised to support problem-solving.
