"Makerspaces are all about teaching through collaboration. This title grabs the attention of young people who are musically as well as technically inclined by showing them that they can make their own instrumentsliterally. Recent technologies such as 3-D printing and Arduino microcontrollers allow virtually anyone to make a fully functioning instrument. This resource shows young people exactly how to take advantage of the burgeoning makerspaces phenomenon...

"The makerspace movement is as nascent and revolutionary as the technology behind unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and this volume introduces readers to both fascinating worlds. UAVs are no longer science fiction. Though their surveillance capabilities are controversial, theyre also being used for more practical purposes. This volume teaches young people how members of the maker movement are producing their own UAVs for productive purposes. Readers...

"Chemical reactions-including combustion, rusting, and even digestion-occur all around us every day, even if we don't notice them. In this book, three illustrated makerspace projects will allow budding scientists to create their own chemical reactions. Readers also will gain an understanding of the important uses of chemical reactions, the products they create, and the scientists who developed our understanding of them. Detailed instructions will...
