Review by Publisher's Weekly Review

This addition to the Rockport's series of hands-on activity books features 18 STEAM projects based on curriculum used in camp programs run through the organization Galileo Learning. The activities-which fall into categories such as toys, machines, and engineering-are crafted using common objects. Akiyama identifies the "Design Challenge" behind each activity ("build a grabber that can pick up three to five different types of objects") and provides brief background knowledge that readers may need to complete each activity, while photographs depict the building and design process. The projects allow readers to pick and choose while learning more about what interests them. Ages 8-12. (Nov.) © Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
