Description

In All About Steve Wozniak young readers, ages 9 – 14 years, will learn all about the other “Apple” guy. Computers are a part of our every day life from our phones to our refrigerators. As a forth grader, Steve Wozniak had computers figured out. Steve, nicknamed “Woz” always had a curiosity and appreciation of electronics and engineering. When he and Steve Jobs teamed up to form Apple Computer Company, they changed the way people around the world used computers forever. 

Woz wanted Apple computers to be compact, fast, and affordable. He designed, and programmed the circuit boards, hardware, and operating system for the Apple I by himself.

Wozniak pushed the limits of what a person computer was able to do to create a new era of computing. If it wasn’t for him, we wouldn’t have home computers, laptops, or smartphones. He changed the way people relate to technology, and the way technology relates to the world.
