Looking for some great makerspace ideas? This book introduces readers to scientific topics and ways to explore them while tinkering with items that readers probably already have on hand. This book would be especially useful to anyone looking for school age makerspace ideas while working on a budget.

Very simple ideas. Would be good for younger kids, probably 2-5 years old. Not really for older kids. Would seem childish, I believe.

Thank you to NetGalley for an advance reader copy in exchange for a fair review.

Excellent book to inspire creativity and STEAM learning in primary school age children. Great looking photography throughout. More information and ideas than projects which I think is great as too many instructions limit children. Easy to understand, sensible advice but exciting ideas, my kids will love this book.

The Tinkering Workshop is a great way to get kids of all ages creating! It suggests a wide range of everyday items to use to build STEAM projects that they will probably find in most homes, classrooms, camps, etc. STEAM incorporates science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics so it will appeal to most all children. The book is written in a child friendly format with lots of photos of children and their creations and uncluttered pages with less text. The book is organized into big ideas so that the child can quickly flip to the section that appeals to them.

I would recommend this book as a great addition to a child's personal library, school/classroom library, camp or public library shelf.
This book is expected to be released Oct. 15, 2024.

Thank you Net Galley, Ryan Jenkins, Storey Publishing for the opportunity to preview this text and my opinions are all my own,
