Excellent. The sexism angle is one thing, but the book is also just wrong about what a computer engineer <i>is</i>. It&#x27;s like &quot;Barbie: I Can Be A Construction Worker&quot; - &quot;Oh, no, I don&#x27;t actually build buildings, I just think of ideas for what they should look like.&quot; That&#x27;s a totally valid career (once you add some rigor that it&#x27;s probably fine to elide in a kid&#x27;s book), but it&#x27;s <i>not being a construction worker</i>.<p>If the book was titled &quot;I Can Be A Video Game Designer&quot; (and she didn&#x27;t spend half the book fighting with viruses) it would have been worlds better. Make one of the other students doing the implementation a girl, and you&#x27;re doing better still. I&#x27;d like to see a genuine &quot;I Can Be A Computer Engineer&quot;, but it might take some creativity to make it actually engaging for the target age range...
