63 Ready-to-Use Maker Projects

Kroski, a librarian, information technology specialist, and editor and author, compiles 63 projects for public, school, and academic library makerspaces, contributed by librarians and makers. The projects vary in cost, topic, difficulty, and space and equipment requirements, and include sewing and textiles projects; paper, cardboard, and craft projects like do-it-yourself chain mail, creating cardboard stand ups, and hydro-dipping flower pots; high-tech and robotics programs like building solar robots and creating an ultrasonic speed detector; digital media projects like video editing and light painting; milling, soldering, and cutting projects; 3D printing projects; and circuitry, wiring, and wearables projects. Each includes step-by-step instructions, a materials and equipment list, learning outcomes, and recommendations for next projects. Annotation ©2017 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
