    • Don't forget your shopping list
This has great projects that will make your kids think and explore, however nearly every project if not all will require a trip to the craft store, electronics hardware store or an order from Amazon for parts.

    • An easy to follow book perfect for busy teachers, parents, and administrators
How I wish I had this book as a resource earlier in my career. As a former elementary school teacher, principal, and district-level administrator, there were many times I wanted a quick, clear, and inviting guide to electronics and circuits that I could use with my students and teachers. I’m very interested in integrating technology and the arts. But my skill level in teaching technology, e.g. the how and the why of circuits or how to make electricity power a metronome, was close to non-existent. Given the frenetic pace of classroom teaching, I felt like the few texts I picked up would take too much time for me to absorb and apply. As an administrator, I confronted the same problem - how could I encourage my teachers to learn these electronics skills when I felt like I didn’t have the time? Within five minutes of picking up Dr. Tofel-Grehl’s book, I felt thoroughly confident that not only could I teach these projects to young people, but also that I could correctly explain why each project works. The author clearly and quickly explains the how and the why in easy to remember steps, explanations, and curriculum connections. Rather than making me feel that this was a subject too big for the time I had available, I felt instantly empowered. As soon as I read through the first projects, I began imagining how teachers in social studies, math, and art could take these ideas and build on them, adding their own unique twists. One lesson I’ve learned over the course of my career is that professional development works best not only when teachers see how a new approach will help their kids, but when the teachers get something out of it, too. Professional development should make teachers feel empowered with new skills, but also make them feel excited about learning something new themselves. Dr. Tofel-Grehl’s book does this and more. Likewise, I can see parents feeling the thrill of learning something alongside their children. It’s a perfect guidebook to keep kids learning during summer vacation or winter break. This book works on all levels - for students, parents, teachers, and administrators in charge of professional development. ... show more

    • 6 year old approved!
I am reviewing an advance copy of this text. I have two perspectives to offer, one as a parent, and one as a former high school science teacher and current teacher educator. From both perspectives this book is amazing! Parent Perspective: My 6 year old promptly reviewed this book before I had a chance to read through it - he is enamored! He cannot wait to build a doorbell and hang it outside his room. These activities are age appropriate and totally kid approved! Dr. Tofel-Grehl did an excellent job of getting into the minds of kids in this age range to develop projects that they can get excited about - and crucially - that expand their creativity. I can't wait to complete these projects with my children and I know my 6 year old can't wait either........no really, he's brought it up every day this week! Teacher & Teacher Educator Perspective: This book is well organized and the projects build on each other in a logical way where skills and understanding developed earlier on are applied in later projects. This is a major strength. In addition, the science behind the projects is explained in clear relatable language, blurbs referred to as "the how's and whys" that non-experts and kids can understand. The "STEAM Connections" blurbs can also help teachers to connect the projects to the wider world. The fact that the projects require the students to be creative, is also a strength. Helping students to see that their interests can be explored through electronics will hopefully get more kids interested in and feeling confident in participating in STEM. In summary - this is a lovely book for parents and teachers alike! And now......I better go get our materials organized for tomorrow morning's potato battery! ... show more

    • Cool and super accessible projects for your kids!
I am reviewing this book as someone who received an advance review copy by mail. The first thing that calls my attention in a positive way is that this book is included with Kindle Unlimited, and for those who want a physical copy, it is a very accessible price. I appreciated the introduction to the basic terminology used in electronics, also in very accessible language that kids can understand. I also love the fact that newer projects build on past ones and are scaffolded by difficulty. The steps are short and easy to understand. Each project contains a section called “The Hows and Whys” that explains the science behind each project and how it works, along with a STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics) connection that extends on the knowledge learned, as well as prompts kids to consider new scenarios, coupled with a “Now Try This” section that directs the child toward that extension. Most steps for each project come with illustrations that guide your child toward what that stage of the project should look like. Every once in a while, there are side sections that are not necessarily STEAM-related, but that are necessary for the child to be able to complete the projects, like learning how to sew, or how to decipher morse code. At the end of the book, there is a glossary of STEAM terms that are written in kid-friendly language, as well as additional links to resources. Overall, I love how accessible this book is. As someone with no children of my own, but with plenty of nieces and nephews, I highly recommend this book. I’d love to see it in Spanish in the future! ... show more
