Adults and children alike love his inventions and are desperate to have them. But then something happens: when Zangemann wants to take another close-up look at his inventions during a walk through the city, a child hits him in the shin with the skateboard. That hurts! Enraged, the inventor makes a momentous decision... The clever girl Ada sees through what is going on. Together with her friends, she forges a plan. This illustrated book tells the story of the famous inventor Zangemann and the girl Ada, a curious tinkerer. Ada begins to experiment with hardware and software, and in the process realises how crucial it is for her and others to control technology. A book that arouses children's interest in tinkering and encourages shaping technology. From age 6 to 106. ⌛ **Schedule (February 15, 2024)** * **4:00 PM - 4:30 PM** - Book reading * **to follow** - Practical electronics workshop for children (construction of a paper circuit) 📍 **Where** [Central public library "Antonio Tiraboschi" - Bergamo](https://biblioteche.comune.bergamo.it/library/Biblioteca-civica-Antonio-Tiraboschi/) [(San Bernardino street, 74, Bergamo)](https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/420755524) The library does not have an internal car park.
