Maker Studio: Fun science and tech projects for young designers

Description

This maker's handbook is packed with amazing projects that teach science, technology and design skills to help you come up with stylish, fun creations. Inside, you'll learn how to make light-up bags, create a speaker from a Pringles tube, design your own resin jewellery, and grow amazing crystal flowers. Other projects include a light-sensitive door sign, colour-changing bath bombs and self-watering planters. With craft concepts ranging from simple to advanced, there's something for every skill set. Each project comes with a short explanation of the science behind it, and every stage is heavily illustrated and photographed to ensure that following the instructions is simple for everyone.
