The Big Book of Makerspace Projects: Inspiring Makers to Experiment, Create, and Learn

This is a perfect addition to any Makerspace where students and adults of all levels can try fun and exciting projects. There are so many great projects, I do not know where to start. These are fun and practical for students on their own or in teacher/parent led activities in the classroom or at home. Wonderful job across the board and I can't wait to see what they will come up with next!

A wide range of 50+ projects from beginner to advanced; some that can be done in minutes with materials on hand, others that will require an investment in time and/or extra gadgets (e.g., Makey Makey, LittleBits, etc.). The projects are well documented, though I do wish the photos and screenshots were in color.

This is a great book for adults who would like to work with students in a maker space. Unfortunately, from the marketing of this product, I thought this book would make a good gift for a young teen maker. After looking through the book I see that there are just not enough pictures and the directions aimed at adults will most likely discourage him from following through with the activities. This book should be marketing as a teaching tool rather than a book for makers.

Great book, lots of fun activities and good instructions with pictures. It has been enjoyed by my children from 4yo to 14yo and the neighbor kids. Excited to see my students looking through the book for their own "spatks".

This is a great resource for anyone considering starting a Makerspace. The book contains projects with clear directions, common items and reasonable prices. It is a win-win for everyone.

I ordered this book hoping to get ideas for my after-school program with elementary school age children. I should have looked more closely at the book before ordering, because I didn't find very much in the book that appealed to me. For me, the black-and-white photos were difficult to look at, and many of the projects use specific materials that I don't have. If you are interested in maker-space projects, look closely to see if this book matches your materials & project needs.

Many practical ideas to help a teacher implement more STEM activities in the classroom. Pictures are helpful and explanations are thorough. The book arrived quickly.

This book is full of projects you can do with students with where to get the materials and approximate cost for each project.
