Three cheers for the engineer,
creative and so smart.
Finds a problem. Fixes it,
with science, math, and art!

The Story of Rosie Revere, Engineer
Rosie Revere is a shy second grader in Miss Lila Greer s
classroom at Blue River Creek. She dreams of becoming a great
engineer, but she never lets anyone know about her dreams.
When Rosie was young,
she made amazing inventions
for her uncles and aunts.
Everyone loved her
inventions.
Nobody loved them more than her uncle,
Zookeeper Fred. Rosie invented a special hat
for keeping snakes off his head. She used parts
of a fan and some cheddar-cheese spray (which
everyone knows keeps pythons away). Uncle Fred
loved it so much that he couldn t contain his joy.
He burst out laughing! He laughed so hard that he
slapped his knee and his eyes filled with tears.
3
But Rosie misunderstood. She thought that
he was laughing at her, and it broke her heart.
Perhaps she couldn t become an engineer after
all. From that day, Rosie kept her inventions-
and her dreams-to herself.
When Rosie was in second grade, her great-great-
aunt came for a visit. Her name was Rose. Great-
Great-Aunt Rose told Rosie about all the amazing
things she had done in her life. She had had many
thrills and had even built enormous airplanes to
help her country.
Great-Great-Aunt Rose had done lots of exciting things, but there was one thing left on
her list of adventures: She wanted to fly. But now that she was old, she didn t think she
would ever get the chance.
That night, Rosie tried to sleep, but she couldn t. She kept
thinking about Great-Great-Aunt Rose. Rosie wondered if
she could create a gizmo to help her aunt fly. But when she
thought about Uncle Fred s cheese hat, she felt sad.
No, she thought, I can t help.
4
However, some questions are
tricky, and this one would not let
go of Rosie. It kept her awake all
night, and when morning came,
she knew just how to make her
aunt fly. She worked and worked
and worked. Finally, at the end
of the day, she was done. Rosie
dragged her invention onto the
lawn to give it a test and see if
it would be a ridiculous flop.
Rosie climbed into the cockpit. She flipped on the switch. The heli-o-cheese-copter
shuddered and shook. It lunged and lurched. It whirled around and around in the air.
Then it froze for a heartbeat and-CRASH!-it hit the ground.
Rosie heard someone laughing and wheezing. It was Great-Great-Aunt
Rose, who slapped her knee and laughed so hard that her eyes filled with
tears. Just like Uncle Fred! Rosie s heart was broken all over again,
and she knew that she would never be a great engineer.
5
Rosie turned around to leave, but Great-Great-Aunt Rose hugged her tight
and kissed her.
You did it! Hurray! she said. It s the
perfect first try!
Rosie did not understand. It crashed,
she said. The heli-o-cheese-copter
failed!
Of course! said her great-great-aunt.
Your brilliant first flop was a raging
success! I can t wait for the next one.
Let s get working!
Then she gave young Rosie a notebook and pencil, and it all became clear.
Life might have its failures, but failing is just part of learning. The only true
failure can come if you quit.
Great-Great-Aunt Rose tied her headscarf
around Rosie s head and they worked together
until it was time for bed. And when she slept,
Rosie Revere dreamed the bold dreams of a
great engineer.

Rosie collects all kinds of things for her inventions.
Here are some things she finds useful.
She calls these items her
Engineer s Treasure.
You might find them useful, too.
Pencils
Glue
Brushes
Ruler
Coffee cans
Tape-There are lots of kinds of helpful tape, including: duct tape, packing tape, double-
sided tape, Scotch tape, painter s tape, masking tape, and gaffer tape. Each has its own use.
Ribbon
Scissors
Screws
Tennis balls
Paint
Paper cups
Paper plates
String
Wire
Books
Rubber bands
Paper clips
Toilet paper
rolls
Paper towel
rolls
Broken toys

Where can
you
find
Engineer s Treasure
?
There are many places you can find cool things to use in your inventions.
RECYCLING: Cardboard boxes, broken toys, juice cans, milk jugs,
plastic lids, and other things your family might otherwise throw away.
Ask permission and make sure they re clean and safe to use.
RUMMAGE SALES and THRIFT MARKETS are great places to find
useful items inexpensively. Finding a new use for something old keeps it
out of the landfill!
SWAP treasure with your engineering friends.
If you can t find a recycled thing to use, you might find something at a
HARDWARE STORE or a FABRIC STORE.
AND BE CAREFUL WHEN WORKING WITH SHARP TOOLS OR BROKEN PIECES!
MAKE SURE AN ADULT IS ALWAYS NEARBY!
more items from an Engineer s toolbox:
(use only with AN adult s permission)
Wrench
Elbow pipe
Screwdriver
Nuts
Bolts
Stapler
Wing nuts
Tape measure
Washers
Nails
Yarn
Pliers
Drill
Swiss Army
knife
Triangle

Organizing your tools and treasure . . .
keeps them in good shape, so they last longer.
lets you find what you need when you need it.
saves money because you don t have to replace
things you already have.
keeps your space free so you can make things.
keeps your feet free of holes!
Keep your Engineer s Treasure organized!
Treasure is all around. But not everything is a treasure.
Choose items that are safe, clean, and useful.
A good collection has variety and is well organized.
HERE ARE SOME TIPS:
Decorate and label empty shoeboxes to store under your bed or on a shelf.
Keep similar things together.
Small, clean glass jars with lids make great containers for tiny parts like screws
and bolts or supplies like rubber bands and string. Clear jars let you easily see
what you have!
A clear plastic shoe holder over the back of a door keeps things organized and easily
viewed.
Hang tools or spools of ribbon on hooks on a peg board from the hardware store.
Magnetic strips from the hardware store or sewing store can hold metal scissors or
other metal tools.
An empty can makes a great holder for tools, pencils, and paint brushes. You can
decorate the can. Watch out for sharp edges! Wrap it in decorative paper and ribbon.
Metric System
Engineers use the metric system
of measurement, so that is
what Rosie uses here. But we've
included standard measurements
throughout too.

What special things will you add to
your Engineer s Treasure?
Always be safe when
you are making something.
Protect your eyes with
safety glasses.
An engineer is always
careful!
Don t forget these!
10
Ask: Questions! Questions!
Questions!
Questions are tricky, and some hold on tight.
Questions kept Rosie awake through the night.
Think about all the questions you have and problems you d like to solve. Write them on a piece of paper.
ENGINEERING STARTS WITH A QUESTION.
What Kind of Engineer?
Rosie likes to build machines and other inventions. Engineers who do that are called
mechanical engineers
. There are many, many different kinds of engineers!
There are many kinds of engineers.
Some work with chemicals; others with gears,
electrons or elements, liquids or light.
They help solve the problems of farming and flight.
In medicine, travel, safety, and sound,
an engineer s work can always be found.
They try to solve problems to help you live better,
from the water you drink to the threads in your sweater.
From your house, which stays warm on a cold winter day,
to the bus that you ride and the games that you play.
If a problem needs solving, the answer is clear:
Start with the help of a great engineer!
