STEM Makerspace Projects

The maker movement started with scattered groups of tech enthusiasts, but it
has become a widespread phenomenon that has influenced schools, libraries, and
clubs across the world. The more children become interested in the
do-it-yourself mentality behind makerspaces, the more trained scientists we will
have in the future. This set was designed with burgeoning makers in mind, but it
is also intended to draw in less ambitious readers. Each book covers a subject
area essential to the elementary science curriculum and supplements the STEM
instruction with manageable makerspace projects. Readers are encouraged to
create the projects with their friends and classmates and truly embrace the
makerspace philosophy of learning together in a social setting.
