Hi. I’m Chris Goldberg,
YOUR STEMsational author,
Aliyah and the STEMsational Problem Solvers: WHAT’S COOKING? is designed to inspire young children of all backgrounds to learn about the benefits of STEM education and advocate for “STEM For All.”
“This delightful story and its fun illustrations teach the importance of teamwork in problem-solving. It’s brilliantly written to attract students to science, technology, engineering, and math programs. I love how GPS Pioneer, Gladys West, serves as a major influence on the main character in this story. Bravo!”
Dr. Sandra Barnes, Clinical Psychologist
“Dr. Goldberg shows how the engineering design process can be used in everyday life by demonstrating the concept in this enjoyable picture book. Help students see they are probably already using the process for everyday situations without even realizing it.”

Why STEM…simple as
The future
Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) jobs are growing faster than ever in the US, creating a stronger need for education and training, especially for young students. #AccessForAll
Critical Thinking
Logical thought processes and problem-solving allows students to develop mental habits that will help them succeed in any field.
Teamwork
Teamwork is one of the most underrated and vital drivers of success. Living and working in the modern world requires collaboration, often with a large and diverse group of people.
“This project proves that students and teachers can work together to improve learning. Young readers of all ages will enjoy this exciting story about friendship, overcoming challenges, and realizing your goals.“
Who is Dr. Gladys B. West?
Gladys Mae West (born October 27, 1930, seen here with Chris) is an American mathematician known for her contributions to the mathematical modeling of the shape of the Earth and her work on the development of satellite geodesy models that were eventually incorporated into the Global Positioning System (GPS). West was inducted into the United States Air Force Hall of Fame in 2018 after going unrecognized for her contributions for many years. West was awarded the Webby Lifetime Achievement Award at the 25th Annual Webby Awards for developing satellite geodesy models. Dr. West remains an incredible role model and advocate for STEM and on August 6, 2024, the Fredericksburg City School Board selected Gladys West Elementary School as the name for the new third elementary school. Chris was invited to participate in the school board’s formal recognition of the new school in October of 2024 when his book was introduced to the large gathering.
