Make a light your way!

Young inventors learn to build with four core makerspace skills: getting ideas, using imagination, working as a team, and solving problems. Each activity asks readers to design a homemade survival tool that lets them see when it gets dark.

The book is full of bright pictures, side notes, and questions that prompt thinking, plus practical tips for getting started. Its goal is to help young makers feel capable of tackling the kinds of practical problems people face in everyday life.

The content matches Common Core and state education standards, making it a fit for classroom projects as well as independent building at home.
