In Faery Swap, warrior faeries steal mathematical knowledge from humans to enhance their magickal faery powers. I’m passionate about this message – that knowledge is power and math is magick– so I created a Virtual Author Visit, activities, and a card-based game, so any teacher, anywhere on the planet, could share this message with their students.
This dynamic video brings Author and Rocket Scientist Susan Kaye Quinn (Ph.D. Engineering) into your classroom, sharing her background in science and engineering and talking about her book, Faery Swap, where warrior faeries steal mathematical knowledge from humans to enhance their magickal faery powers. Then she shows how humans use math in the real world to do amazing things… even without magick to help them.
