Craft meets STEAM in these lively books that will help you design, build and create!
Get
ready to build your very own space centre! From rockets and rocket
launchers to a Mars rover and a night sky projector, step-by-step
projects will give you all
the instructions you need to make every
element a model space centre needs. Learn about principles of design and
engineering as well as craft
techniques to unleash
your creativity!
Every
project
has been designed to work using things you can find lying
around at
home, like disposable containers and packaging, and basic art
and craft
equipment.
Why not check out the other books in the Maker Models series?
Each book focuses on a building and will go through creating various
parts of the structure. You could learn to make a castle and its
grounds, a
fairground, a transport hub, a mini-garden and biosphere or a
theatre
and film set and all the elements that constitute them.
For
children aged 9+, this illustrated series will be great for rainy days
and science days and a good inspiration for DT classes and clubs.
