Louis J DesforgesLouis has always been fascinated by how things work. From a young age, he possessed a strong sense of curiosity, consistently creating, building, and developing new ideas. This natural inclination to understand the mechanics of the world led him to adeep appreciation for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (S.T.E.M.).However, it was the arrival of his son, Ethan, who inspired his most personal and exciting endeavor: sharing his passion for S.T.E.M. through storytelling.Motivated by Ethan's developing curiosity, Louis wrote his first book, I Can Be a Scientist. His aim was to ignite a similar interest in children everywhere, showing them the many possibilities, they might not have considered before.Driven by a deep conviction in the power of representation, Louis firmly believes that every child deserves to see themselves reflected in all areas of human endeavor.He champions the profound truth that when children genuinely see themselves reflected in the world, they are then empowered to internalize and declare: I see me; therefore, I can be!, cementing deep within their framework the limitless potential that lies ahead, regardless of their current circumstances. This impactful motto fuels his unwavering mission to bridge the diversity gap in S.T.E.M.Now, with his latest book, Engineers Are Awesome! Louis continues this mission. He encourages young readers to embrace their innate engineering capabilities, empowering them to think creatively and contribute to a brighter future, one innovative step at a time.
