**BRAND NEW! **
50 Maker Labs does what no other STEM or STEAM book does: It gives you activities tied to a different STEM-related careers. Each of the 50 activities included has a unique career attached to it, like Radiologist, Sports Medicine, Optician, Robotic Engineer, Aerospace Engineer, Astronaut, Forester, or Landscaping Architect!
Each activity is perfect for a science lab or makerspace. They’re great in the classroom, daycare, science camps, interactive media centers, library, or science labs.
Each of the 50 Maker Labs comes with a career idea, an open-ended task, and materials lists. Also get over 20 pages of forms, reflections sheets, and reusable worksheets you can use to help learners get the most out of their experiences. Also, because teachers always need some stuff for bulletin boards, posters have been included!

My 50 STEM Labs Series is all about increasing the level of fun while teaching engineering. In this new book, I created a set of STEAM thematic units.
Each unit is a single page with a set of suggested interrelated activities for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math. Unlike other series and authors who slap together an arts and crafts activity and call it STEM/STEAM, this one actually has suggestions for how to use ALL 5 disciplines for EACH project! Add technology to your class! Do career studies, add music… the list goes on!
Create your own grading rubrics and adjust for your grade level. This is AWESOME for block scheduling, gifted, and older kids who are used to doing projects.
