The STEM Diaries
You know how engineering concepts are often abstract and difficult for students to visualize?
I’m on a mission to change this with my hand-written and illustrated book series!
The STEM Diaries book series is the perfect introduction to electrical engineering for students ages 8+. It helps students easily grasp new topics and be inspired to learn more by breaking down complex topics with fun images and analogies.

“A textbook in disguise”
-Romper
In Circuits, you will learn about…
- Types of circuits
- Circuit elements, characteristics and applications
In Energy Conversion, you will learn about…
- Electrical energy
- How electrical energy is generated, transmitted and distributed

Amazing and inspirational book!
This series…[makes] complex topics of engineering fun and easy to digest. Emily inspires people of all ages, but most importantly – the future girls of STEM! 🙂 … Highly recommend.
– Megan H.
Simple explanations of complicated topics
Emily navigates the difficult territory between making a book for teen readers approachable while also covering key ideas from electrical engineering. This is a good, short book for anyone whose children or teens are interested in engineering or wanting to understand some of the basic concepts in the field.
– Alan C.
Perfect gift!
The perfect gift for middle school girls! Such a uniquely-written and illustrated book that makes me want to learn more about engineering.

A Student & Author
My Story

“Applications for the senior class scholarship contest are due in February,” my high school AP physics teacher reminded the class, as he passed out that week’s announcements. I glanced around the room and noticed I was one of three girls in a sea of twenty boys, before reading the announcement’s heading:
CREATE AN EDUCATIONAL TOOL TO ENCOURAGE YOUNG STUDENTS TO EXPLORE A TOPIC OF YOUR CHOICE.
That day after school, as I worked through my physic’s homework on circuits, which I considered mini-puzzles, I wished I learned about the topic earlier in my academic career. I researched available material to learn about circuits and, to my disappointment, discovered a lack of resources for younger students.
Then, it clicked. My entry for the scholarship contest would combine my love of circuits with my passion for bullet journaling. I proposed to create a non-intimidating, conceptual, introductory book about circuits to ignite young girls’ curiosity in STEM.
_______________
During my sophomore year at Bucknell University, I presented my high school project to my electrical engineering professors, who encouraged me to self-publish my then-titled book The Fundamentals of Circuits Made Easy on Amazon.
As a college senior, I rebranded this book as the first installment of The STEM Diaries, which launched in January 2021, along with my second book about energy conversion.
