AHETEMS has partnered with Latina authors to conceptualize and write children and youth literature to capture and motivate Hispanics to excel academically in math and science and eventually enter a career path in engineering or science.

The Edu-Comic Book is a full-color, bilingual, comic book. Written in Spanish and English, the stories follow the adventures of three characters in their quest to save the world from danger using their special engineering skills. Each comic book is focused on a varying engineering field.

Each book in the ¡Ay Mija!/¡Ay Mijo! Book Series provides 12 illustrative short stories of Latinas and Latinos who have overcome social and economic barriers on their path to become a success engineer, inventor, scientist, educator, health professional, science advocate. Targetted toward junior high and high school studnets, these books share the wisdom, insight, and perseverance to excel in math and science, complete a college degree, and enter a highly skilled profession. In the end, there will be 144 documented stories of Hispanic role-models throughout the United States.

Currently, two books are available - ¡Ay Mija! Book Series Why Do You Want To Be An Engineer? and ¡Ay Mijo! Book Series Why Do You Want To Be An Engineer? The next book ¡Ay Mija! Why Do You Want To Be An Inventor? will be forthcoming.
