Abridged version of the book
When most people think about technology or the tech world, there is this subtle thought that it is a difficult space. So depending on upbringing, some people develop a mental block towards careers in the digital technology sector.
This is why I decided to write this book through the fusion of facts and fiction. I introduce the readers to the basics of the technology space while engaging them in the story.
Through Jasmine’s experiences in this story, the young readers see another reality. The young girls see that tech is not just for males; they are captivated by the realities that exist.
This story sparks curiosity and awakens their creative side.
The story is set in secondary, through junior secondary and senior secondary. They experience the long-lasting friendship that Jasmine shared with her two besties (Remi & Fisayo) and the support she enjoyed from her parents. Jasmine as a character is an inquisitive young girl who never gave up till she found answers to her questions. The story of Jasmine takes the readers on a journey showcasing curiosity, friendship, mentorship with her cousin Lyndia, a talented writer who introduced the concept of remote work to her and asked her to create a community for her friends on tiktok, sharing useful information. This led to her getting a part-time job with Mr. Wale whom she helped resurrect his business which had collapsed as a result of the pandemic, respect and most importantly, triumph into discovering a tech career(one which blended commerce and tech) that finally suits her character and personality. There are many examples and stories that the young readers will find relatable.
There is a section at the end of each chapter titled, “Digital Dictionary”. This section explores select topics that have been mentioned in the chapter’s story, in more detail.
At the end of the book, there is a reference section with Google search prompts for the readers to learn more about the topics discussed.
These are some of the topics explored:
- How tech startups are formed
- Coronavirus outbreak and impact on the world
- The concept of remote working
- Startup and venture capitals. What’s it all about and how to start one
- History and progression of the tech world. The dotcom bubble
- The world of social media gigs
While the main character is a female, this book is not just for females. The young boys will also find it interesting. The main character is female so as to help the female readers easily visualise themselves in the story and further deconstruct the myth that Tech is just for males.
This book might just serve as an Intro to Tech companion.
Enjoy a copy and support us to share many more to schools.
