The Art of Tinkering

The Art of Tinkering is a celebration of taking things apart, exploring tools and materials and building wondrous, wild art that's part science and part technology. When you tinker, you're not following a step-by-step set of directions that leads to a tidy end result. Instead, you're questioning your assumptions about the way something works, and you're investigating it on your own terms. This book explores the creative side of engineering through projects and advice from 150 makers who will each inspire you with their brilliant makeovers of everyday objects, like a banana video game controller and light-up clothing. Hardcover; 224 pages.

Age Recommendation: Ages 8 and up
