DESCRIPTION:
Written by real "rocket scientist" Joan Horvath, author of Mastering 3D Printing, and 3D printing expert Rich Cameron (AKA whosawhatsis), The New Shop Class is a friendly, down-to-earth chat about how hands-on making things can lead to a science career.Get practical suggestions about how to use technologies like 3D printing, Arduino, and simple electronicsLearn how to stay a step ahead of the young makers in your life and how to encourage them in maker activitiesDiscover how engineers and scientists got their start, and how their mindsets mirror that of the maker. The New Shop Class connects the worlds of the maker and hacker with that of the scientist and engineer. If you are a parent or educator or a budding maker yourself, and you feel overwhelmed with all of the possible technologies, this book will get you started with clear discussions of what open source technologies like 3D printers, Arduinos, robots and wearable tech can really do in the right hands
Five Stars Caroline Latham Got my money's worth with this book. Came as promised.. An Important Book - For Makers and Education Policy Makers I just finished reading The New Shop Class by Joan Horvath and Rich Cameron. This is an important book. Given all of the recent interest in making, and in related technologies like 3d printing, this book is very helpful to those who are looking for guidance in how to get started, and where to go for information. I read The New Shop Class on my Kindle. In the Kindle version there are links to helpful resources, and it was very e. jcanare said Helpful and fun resource for parents and educators of future Makers. While the title of this book implies that it is written for educators, it is also an invaluable resource for any nontechnical parent who wants to nurture their child's interest in Helpful and fun resource for parents and educators of future Makers While the title of this book implies that it is written for educators, it is also an invaluable resource for any nontechnical parent who wants to nurture their child's interest in 3D printing, Arduino, and other current technology trends. The book strikes a balance between instructional chapters that cover the fundamentals of these technologies (in unintimidating, layperson terms), as well as real-life case studies that show ho.
