When Gina is asked to research technology for her science project, she begins to look at her everyday life with new eyes. Drawings illustrate both Gina's story and the thoughtful explanations of electronics and optics. The featured technology focuses on items girls actually use (TV remotes, cell phones, automatic door openers, and touch screens at the mall) without straying too obviously into stereotypes.
