Logic Lab Books creates STEM learning resources that help kids build real problem‑solving and early programming skills. The series starts with screen‑free, hands‑on books that focus on thinking skills first, and future resources may include interactive digital tools that build on the same foundations.
Lisa Hargreaves is the creator of Logic Lab Books, a STEM series designed to help kids learn how to think like programmers. She believes every child can develop strong logic and problem‑solving skills, and she designs activities that make those skills feel fun, accessible, and confidence‑boosting.
As a maker, parent, and STEM enthusiast, Lisa blends creativity with practical skill‑building. Her books use puzzles, patterns, sequencing challenges, and kid‑friendly “algorithms” to teach the foundations of computational thinking in a way that feels playful and encouraging. Whether a child is learning at home, in a classroom, or in a library program, Lisa’s approach helps them strengthen the way they think, reason, and break down challenges—the same skills real programmers use every day.
Logic Lab Books focuses on making STEM learning simple, joyful, and thinking‑first. The series begins with screen‑free workbooks that use pencil‑and‑paper activities to build strong mental habits. Future resources may include digital or interactive components that extend those skills into new formats, always keeping clear explanations and real understanding at the center.
Every resource is built around:
Kids are naturally curious. They love puzzles, patterns, and figuring out how things work. Many early coding resources focus on apps and drag‑and‑drop tools, and Lisa wanted to create something that centers the thinking skills behind coding.
Think Like a Coder gives kids those foundational skills: logic, sequencing, pattern recognition, problem‑solving, and algorithm design. The book teaches real programming concepts using only pencil and paper, helping kids build mental habits that make future coding—on screens or off—easier, more intuitive, and more fun.
Logic Lab Books offers multiple editions to support different learning environments:
Each edition is built to help kids explore STEM with confidence, whether they are learning independently or with guidance.
Lisa enjoys caring for her alpacas, exploring DIY projects, and creating things that make life a little brighter. She loves hands‑on hobbies, clever problem‑solving, and any project that brings curiosity to the surface.
