I know it has been a while but trust me the work has not stopped. I am now not only a Black STEM Romance author but also a children's book author. Book one was conceived through the 2020 pandemic and on Friday, 3/29/24 it will finally see the light of the day. The cover reveal for #TheresARobotInMyCloset will go live. The book will initially be on sale on Amazon Kindle and print books with more venues coming soon. Learn about Malika and her robot Rovie below.
There’s a Robot in My Closet is the story of Malika, a young Black girl who loves to play with the robot in her bedroom. Malika has so much fun learning about STEM with Rovie she decides to share her robot with the rest of her family. Unfortunately, Rovie is shy and freezes when around others. When everyone is busy and doesn’t believe Rovie is real, Malika worries her family doesn’t want her and Rovie around. Rovie does a dance and twinkles lights to cheer Malika up, and she writes code so Rovie can draw, play music, and follow colors. Her efforts pay off and Malika is excited. When her family comes to see her and Rovie, she’s determined to share her love for STEM.
I am honored to be the first book on the #YoungRebels imprint as part of RebellionLit. Please also check out my #BlackSTEMRomance novels at CarlottaArdell.com
Stories that introduce STEM through imagination can have a lasting impact because they make technical ideas feel approachable long before children encounter them in a classroom. Seeing a young character solve problems with curiosity rather than perfection also helps normalize learning through experimentation. That early connection often shapes future interests just as much as formal education, which is why conversations about learning pathways, including bsc (hons), become more meaningful later on. Books like this show that confidence in science and technology often starts with relatable storytelling rather than textbooks alone.
Construction management combines technical understanding with practical decision-making every day. Successful projects usually depend on careful planning, resource coordination, and consistent monitoring of progress. Good communication between office teams and site personnel can prevent unnecessary delays. Learning about current regulations and project management techniques helps professionals perform their roles with greater confidence. Educational opportunities continue to support those who want to advance within the industry. The College of Contract Management provides construction site management courses that learners may find useful when developing these skills.
Within professional development frameworks, apc courses are designed to support candidates preparing for chartered membership. The course focuses on competency development, case study preparation, and interview readiness. Structured learning helps strengthen overall performance.
Education and training industries continue to value practical teaching and communication skills. Many individuals choose level 4 teaching qualification options to learn more about lesson delivery and learner engagement strategies. Building these practical abilities may support workplace growth.
Across surveying career pathways, apc qualification is recognised for supporting progression toward chartered professional status. The College of Contract Management offers programmes designed to guide learners through APC coaching and preparation. The course includes competency reviews and professional practice concepts. These topics are valuable for long-term career development in the surveying sector.
