How to Launch a Tech Start-Up: Robotics, Gaming and Other Tech Jobs

Technology is all around us: the products or tools that humans create to make life easier or solve problems. Excitingly, new types of technology are always being invented – and, sometimes, new tech solutions are created by tech start-ups. 

A tech start-up is a group of people who work together to create technology products. To be successful, they must create something that a lot of people want or need. 

Taking readers through the history of technology and thinking about why we need technology to begin with, this super useful and accessible book explains how tech start-up companies start and what is needed to make the start-up a success; how to design a tech product; how to code; and even how to grow a start-up company. 

After this, Michelle You and Sol Linero outline some of the types of jobs that kids who love technology and gaming could consider later in life, from AI engineer to gaming content creators, concept artists, and robotics engineers. 

The sixth in Nosy Crow’s How to Be A… series, How to Launch a Tech Start-Up: Robotics, Gaming and Other Tech Jobs considers likely future occupations in the technology industry for today’s children and explains the tech world in an accessible and helpful way. It’s a picture book, so pitched to the slightly younger child reader, but the ideas and language would be suitable for older primary readers.
