Fortunately for educators, this maker movement overlaps with the natural inclinations of children and the power of learning by doing. Making, tinkering and engineering are how people learn and work in the twenty-first century.

This book explores how you can join the exciting maker movement and turn any K-12 classroom into a center of innovation.
