Thinking Outside the Coop

In 'Thinking Outside the Coop,' a dog named Widget and a duck named Zip collaborate to solve issues at the chicken coop where eggs are mysteriously disappearing, becoming dirty, and being stolen. By integrating technology such as electronic circuits, 3D printing, and constructing a robot, Widget and Zip demonstrate diverse problem-solving techniques. The book educates children about various technological tools and concepts, featuring a photographic glossary of the gadgets used and offering extension enrichment lessons segmented by age group. A portion of the book's proceeds is dedicated to the Rural Technology Fund, which assists rural students in gaining access to technology and exploring technology-focused careers.
