Explore, invent & build with everyday materials; 100 hands-on STEAM projects 

Get ready to tinker, explore, and engineer with screws, bendy wire, metal washers, plastic pipes, dowels, electronics, LED lights, and more!

Makerspace educator Ryan Jenkins inspires kids aged 8 to 12 to look at familiar supplies in new and unexpected ways, to think with their hands, troubleshoot tricky constructions, and sharpen their problem-solving skills.

Projects include building flexible forts with cardboard and screws; making art robots with hobby motors; constructing a water factory with plastic pipes; balancing sky trams on strings; and engineering surprising switches with wire and foil.
