There’s a whole other universe buzzing beneath the glass and plastic of everyday machines. SOIC and Friends draws children ages 2–8 into that world with bright art, playful storytelling, and just enough real-world engineering to inspire genuine interest.
Each adventure is crafted with engineers, educators, and parents in mind—helping young readers discover why chips, resistors, sensors, and power supplies matter.
Two microchips named SOIC & SOT go on a journey through an electronics assembly line. From shipping boxes, through the soldering process, assembly and test, the chips learn about the world outside, and what they were born to do!
Tech industries across the board are already suffering from the lack of talent ready for the technology we will depend on in the future. At Pragma Media, we are doing our part to provide more approachable but detailed and accurate technical educational materials. And we need your help to make it happen. When you participate in our programs, you’ll be impacting the early education on-ramp into the tech industry, by helping us get more books to schools, libraries and directly into the hands of families. Together, we can educate the technologists of tomorrow, today and be ready for a brighter future!
