It serves as a bridge between the physical world and the digital one, turning a mysterious signal into understandable science. This guide demystifies Wi-Fi by explaining radio waves, routers, and data transmission in a way that builds a child's confidence in their own technical literacy. It is perfectly suited for elementary and middle schoolers who are moving beyond being mere consumers of tech and are ready to understand the engineering behind the screen. Parents will appreciate how it encourages a sense of wonder for the unseen infrastructure of the modern world while providing a clear, jargon-free vocabulary for future STEM learning.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is entirely secular and focused on physical science and engineering.
Ideal Reader
An 8 to 10 year old who is a 'tinkerer' at heart. This is for the child who tries to see the back of the TV or asks why the internet stops working when they go into the garage. It is also excellent for a student who feels intimidated by science but loves video games, as it connects abstract physics to their concrete interests.
