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.

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.

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".

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.

Desafortunadamente este tema todavía no está muy desarrollado y sólo existen publicaciones en inglés. Estos temas ayudan a mejorar el aprendizaje del alumno.

Great for teachers. Unless you’re a shop teacher, this book gives a huge number of projects that can be done by a range of student ability levels. If you are a shop teacher, this can give you a starting point for prototypes and ideas that students could take to the next level.

Great book full of projects from really simple makes to more complex. These are "rich makes" that cover lots of skills and areas at once - so you might be using textile skills to sew some wearable tech, and then programming it do something or building a simple robot using eletronics skills and then making it a maze to move through using structures knowledge. The book is in black and white but it is clearly illustrated and the step by step guides are easy to follow. If buying it as a gift think about getting some of the necessary (cheap!) components to go with it so your new maker can jump in and make at least project 1 straight away.

Alle Projekte, die man braucht, um sofort einen Makerspace aufzumachen gut beschrieben und bebildert. Die Projekte beginnen kinderleicht und werden immer komplexer. Dabei ist das Buch auch noch unterhaltsam geschrieben. Ich hatte es an 3 Tagen durchgelesen.
