The Manga Guide to Linear Algebra was a light, but useful introduction to linear algebra for me during the summer before my freshman year of college.

Two books I recommend, both of which are very digestible by your target age group: - The Way Things Work by David Macaulay and Neil Ardley This book is like an encyclopedia, starting from simple machines and guiding the reader to more com

> There are thousands of them out there who want to build tech stuff but don't have the skills. This sounds like a pretty cynical take. I know plenty of designers who want to design for tech, not because they "don't have t

Some thoughts I have as a CS student right now (for context, I grew up the in Bay Area and am a rising senior at UC Berkeley): - I started coding when I was young, and I still struggled academically. There is a difference between knowing ho

Shopify Polaris is one I consistently reference: https://polaris.shopify.com/ It's super comprehensive overall, and I particularly like the documentation for the components. For example, even for a basic Checkbox ( htt

Creating a style guide and UI components is definitely a solid foundation! I also highly recommend the Design Systems Handbook ( https://www.designbetter.co/design-systems-handbook ). The engagement model should be a bit of b

I had a few internships in high school doing webdev at startups. I got them through referrals (though not family members). Companies don't actively recruit for high schoolers (I've tried looking!), so unfortunately I think you&#x2

I think it would be hilarious to use this in a desktop Electron app and come full circle.

I think this would be a great reference for teaching introductory UI design; with the 3D-ness you can clearly see the different states that each UI element requires. I also really like the quotes about each component! Is there an online cop

Thanks for sharing! As someone who hasn't heard of the Baymard Institute before, I was slightly confused at how their site was marketing their research as a product as opposed to sharing their research for academic and community engage

If you're showing them designs, sometimes it helps to lie and say that you weren't the one who made it, so other people don't feel bad about criticizing it. You can post an anonymous survey on Reddit or specific Facebook grou

As a light-hearted answer, I recommend the book 100 Tricks to Appear Smart in Meetings by Sarah Cooper: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/29431093-100-tricks-to-a... I found it to be hilarious, relatable, and

For writing HTML & CSS, definitely the Emmet plugin: https://emmet.io/ I still find myself in situations where I need more than Markdown but less than React; as a result I just need to quickly get some HTML on a page. E

Get her started with an Arduino kit! And then follow tutorials on Adafruit, SparkFun, Make: Magazine, etc. I always found circuit analysis to be a super dry topic when taught in my high school and college classes, but it's fun when you

Any user interface is simply a combination of smaller components. For example, using your basic HTML/CSS skills, you can create a button. Then, create an input field. Then, put those together in a div and use a few lines of flexbox lay

As a college student from a high school that had multiple classes related to Java/infotech - I think this is a case where you definitely want to cover breadth over depth. In high school everyone has different skills and interests. Some

My landscape architecture professor called Olmsted the Kevin Bacon of American landscape history - you can probably trace any American landscape development back to Olmsted in four steps. Also, it's interesting that when Olmsted design
