Skill Seeker: Young Maker Edition - by Steph Piper (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Inspire discovery in budding makers!

Skill Seeker: Young Maker Edition is an activity and guide book that gamifies the learning process for key maker skills, putting beginner makers on a STEAM path where they'll want to level up!

Designed for makers ages 8-12, special "skill trees" provide a structured collection of skills to learn that lead young makers from one interconnected accomplishment to the next, gently challenging without overwhelming. Twelve vital Maker Skill Trees are included, covering such subjects as:

• 3D Printing
• Vinyl Cutting
• Electronics
• Crafting
• Robotics
. . . and more!

Readers choose character avatars to help engage and personalize the learning experience, and color achievement badges to track their progress and unlock new challenges.

To start readers down their paths, special "Learn & Do" activities explain how seemingly complex things work, like showing how simple design guidelines can lead to successful 3D models for printing; using layers as an efficient way to create drawings, paintings, and digital art; and how to apply "kidpreneurship" concepts to develop, test, and bring ideas to life.
