When Diana Trujillo was little, working for NASA was her greatest dream. She loved to gaze at the stars in the sky. She also enjoyed math and art. Then she learned that engineers use math and art in their work. So Trujillo decided to be a NASA engineer. Although she didn't speak English, she was determined to live her dream.
Trujillo believed in herself enough to move from Colombia to the United States to learn English. After years of hard work, she earned a degree in aerospace engineering. She quickly got a job at NASA and worked on the Mars rover Curiosity. She became the lead engineer on her team. Today, Trujillo is a mentor to other women and immigrants. She is also a role model to young scientists. She believes everyone can find a connection between what they love and science.

"These palatable biographies of trailblazing techies emphasize their subjects' childhoods and examine how their roots influenced later ingenuities. A tunnel and cave exploration by a young, lantern-carrying Shigeru Miyamoto is an allusion to his later video game creations Mario and The Legend of Zelda. This narrative style provides students with a lesson on how small beginnings can lead to great things and might inspire pride in their own developing STEM skills. The images are clear and relevant to the accompanying text. The artist's interpretation of the big bang that is found in Stephen Hawking is a bit unclear and without further context will likely confuse readers. The bright, clean format and accessible tone make these entry biographies great for classrooms and libraries."―School Library Journal
