Synopsis

Meet a real-life scientist—then become one yourself! An award-winning STEM book for ages 8-12 by American Girl author Aubre Andrus.


An American Chemical Society's Middle School ChemClub Book Pick!

Part true-story biography, part STEM activity book, DR. MAYA, ICE CREAM SCIENTIST celebrates the story of Dr. Maya, a real woman in science who gets to eat ice cream every day—it’s her job! Maya believes you can be whatever you want to be—even when you’ve never seen someone who looks like you do it!

DR. MAYA, ICE CREAM SCIENTIST includes:

  • FEMALE ROLE MODEL: In short chapters and a fun narrative, young readers learn how Maya grew from a curious kid into a food scientist with a PhD.
  • FUN FACTS: Readers are introduced to chemistry basics like chemical equations in frozen desserts while learning about ice cream around the world and fascinating food science discoveries.
  • STEAM ACTIVITIES: Kids complete hands-on STEAM activities like how to develop their very own ice cream flavor which flexes their problem-solving and creativity muscles.


Why do female career role models in STEM matter? Women make up just 27% of the STEM workforce. STEM careers have higher salaries and higher rates of employment while tackling some of the world’s most pressing issues, which are currently lacking a female perspective.


Welcome all kids into the world of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math with The Look Up Series. Celebrate female role models by sharing extraordinary women's stories and career paths with a side of some serious girl power. These real-life stories feature not famous women, but real women who can become your kid’s childhood heroes. Let’s get to work with The Look Up Series!
