There’s a technological and creative revolution underway. Amazing new tools, materials and skills turn us all into makers. Using technology to make, repair or customize the things we need brings engineering, design and computer science to the masses. Fortunately for educators, this maker movement overlaps with the natural inclinations of children and the power of learning by doing. The active learner is at the center of the learning process, amplifying the best traditions of progressive education. This book helps educators bring the exciting opportunities of the maker movement to every classroom. Children are natural tinkerers Their seminal learning experiences come through direct experience with materials. Digital fabrication, such as 3D printing and physical computing, including Arduino, MaKey MaKey and Raspberry Pi, expands a child’s toy and toolboxes with new ways to make things and new things to make. For the first time ever, childhood inventions may be printed, programmed or imbued with interactivity. Recycled materials can be brought back to life. While school traditionally separates art and science, theory and practice, such divisions are artificial. The real world just doesn’t work that way! Architects are artists. Craftsmen deal in aesthetics, tradition and mathematical precision. Video game developers rely on computer science. Engineering and industrial design are inseparable. The finest scientists are often accomplished musicians. The maker community brings children, hobbyists and professionals together in a glorious celebration of personal expression with a modern flare. When 3-D printing, precision cutting, microcomputer control, robotics and computer programming become integral to the art studio, auto shop or physics lab, every student needs access to tools, knowledge and problem solving skills. The maker movement not only blurs the artificial boundaries between subject areas, it erases distinctions between art and science while most importantly obliterating the crippling practice of tracking students in academic pursuits or vocational training. There are now multiple pathways to learning what we have always taught and things to do that were unimaginable just a few years ago. Making for every classroom budget Even if you don’t have access to expensive (but increasingly affordable) hardware, every classroom can become a makerspace where kids and teachers learn together through direct experience with an assortment of high and low-tech materials. The potential range, breadth, power, complexity and beauty of projects has never been greater thanks to the amazing new tools, materials, ingenuity and playfulness you will encounter in this book. In this practical guide, Sylvia Martinez and Gary Stager provide K-12 educators with the how, why, and cool stuff that supports making in the classroom, library, makerspace, or anywhere learners learn. Review: Incredibly useful book! - I bought this book on the recommendation of a friend implementing a makerspace at his school. It's the most useful book I've read all year! It begins with foundational information and research about why making is so important for kids. Gary and Sylvia reference numerous teachers and how they currently use maker strategies. The last part of the book gives you resources and ideas for making "making" happen in your own school. I can't recommend this highly enough. Very accessible - not overly geeky or overly intellectual; just the right balance! Review: This book has blown my mind open from the moment ... - This book has blown my mind open from the moment I picked it. And in the week that I've had it, I've been unable to put it down. Having the luxury of being a homeschooling family, I know we are not subject to the same types of learning as in the typical classroom. Yet, I find my institutional buttons being pressed all time. Is he learning? EEK. We need to do more worksheets! To be fair, the authors brought what's in my heart to life. So I wasn't starting from ground zero as far as the philosophy. This book just pushed me over the edge into full blown constructivism. In just 2 days of going to a maker model with my son, we are both PUMPED about learning and making and tinkering. I honestly think this book is life changing. I don't have enough words of praise and thanks! ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,220,040 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #447 in Computers & Technology Education #600 in STEM Education #683 in Science & Technology Teaching Materials | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 253 Reviews | ## Images ![Invent To Learn: Making, Tinkering, and Engineering in the Classroom - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61degaOmYfL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Incredibly useful book! *by T***S on July 19, 2013* I bought this book on the recommendation of a friend implementing a makerspace at his school.

It explains to teachers how to manage their classroom and set their goals and priorities. It also provides a lot of resources and supplementary material. Most usefully, the book introduces to teachers the wonders of Scratch programming software, the Arduino programmable micro-controller, and other keep-it-simple accessible technology. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.eg/products/1694699-invent-to-learn-making-tinkering-and-engineering-in-the-classroom](https://www.desertcart.com.eg/products/1694699-invent-to-learn-making-tinkering-and-engineering-in-the-classroom) --- *Product available on Desertcart Egypt* *Store origin: EG* *Last updated: 2026-10-30*
