Homeschooling Charlie opens up a whole new world including reading novels we wouldn’t normally read. Which is why I will be using Ada Lovelace Cracks the Code (A Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls Chapter Book) in our Homeschool reading class as well as Art class.
Ada Lovelace Cracks the Code is part of the Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls and having girl in the title I thought that might turn Charlie off. But after reading the description describing the novel to Charlie he said he would read Ada Lovelace Cracks the Code with me as long as his friends didn’t find out.
While reading Ada Lovelace Cracks the Code Charlie became more interested in computers. We signed up for a Coding class which is a Extra Curricular class for Charlie.
Charlie enjoyed learning about the 19th Century which we will be studying this year. We discussed a Flying Laboratory and what we might find inside the laboratory and why.
Through Ada Lovelace Cracks the Code we will be studying STEM and Math. I hope Ada Lovelace Cracks the Code will get Charlie interested in his math classes. Which Charlie despises as well as lessons for Spelling and History.
Preview:
From the world of Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls comes a story based on the exciting real-life adventures of Ada Lovelace, one of the world’s first computer programmers.
Growing up in nineteenth century London, England, Ada is curious about absolutely everything. She is obsessed with machines and with creatures that fly. She even designs her own flying laboratory!
According to her mother, Ada is a bit too wild, so she encourages Ada to study math. At first Ada thinks: Bleh! Who can get excited about a subject without pictures? But she soon falls in love with it. One day she encounters a mysterious machine, and from that moment forward Ada imagines a future full of possibility—one that will eventually inspire the digital age nearly two hundred years later.
Ada Lovelace Cracks the Code is the story of a pioneer in the computer sciences, and a testament to women’s invaluable contributions to STEM throughout history.
This historical fiction chapter book also includes additional text on Ada Lovelace’s lasting legacy, as well as educational activities designed to teach simple coding and mathematical concepts.
