Make: Skill Seeker - Young Maker Edition - Print

Inspire discovery in budding makers!

Skill Seeker: Young Maker Edition is an activity and guide book that gamifies the learning process for key maker skills, putting beginner makers on a STEAM path where they’ll want to level up!

Designed for makers ages 8–12, special “skill trees” provide a structured collection of skills to learn that lead young makers from one interconnected accomplishment to the next, gently challenging without overwhelming. 

Twelve vital skill trees are included, covering such subjects as:

• 3D Printing
• Vinyl Cutting
• Electronics
• Crafting
• Robotics. . . and more!

To start readers down their paths, special “Learn & Do” activities explain how seemingly complex things work; like simple design guidelines to successfully design 3D models for printing; using layers to efficiently create drawings, paintings, and digital art; and even “Kidpreneurship” concepts to develop, text, and bring ideas to life.

To help engage and personalize the learning experience, readers create character avatars and track their progress through coloring in achievement badges that indicate their progress and unlock their next challenge.
