Review Quotes

"Each of the activities in Awesome Engineering Activities for Kids includes hows and whys, extensions, and a STEAM connection. Including these areas elevates the book from being an activity book to a teaching tool. The supplies needed to explore each activity are probably already in our homes or classrooms. I love not having to go out to get supplies before we start an activity. We can pick an activity and start working on it right away."--Deirdre Smith, teacher and blogger at JDaniel4's Mom

"Every parent or teacher needs a number of tools in their toolbox, and Awesome Engineering Activities for Kids is a great one. Fully indexed, you can open it to any page and find an interesting project. Recommended for kids or anyone with a basic desire to see how things work."--John Grube, Electrical Engineer, Duke Energy, and father of four

"I LOVE this engineering activity book for kids! I am not an engineer or even strong in the subject, so you can imagine my excitement when I opened this book to find fun engineering projects that I can do at home with my son. It has clear instructions with fun facts and colorful pictures of the projects throughout. I can't wait to share this with our homeschool co-op STEM class!"--Tressa Guillory, Homeschool Parent
