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.
• Covers a wide variety of topics in the elementary science
