Have fun powering up tiny versions of real-life vehicles and robots. Step-by-step, clear instructions are combined with cool illustrations to show you how to make all kinds of aircraft, boats, cars and robots - safely. Simple household items can be transformed into 36 awesome Makerspace Models. Launch a rocket with air and water power, build a soda bottle submarine, make an insect-droid with wire legs, explore eco-friendly solar power and more. Unplug and become a super engineer and learn the science behind each project. Building your own stuff is inspiring for the budding engineers of the future. With hands-on fun learning, using high interest, brightly presented photographs of the finished result for guidance, it's a cool way to spend time. .
