Great ideas that I am looking forward to implementing.
One caveat: the estimated time given for each project seems off. All but two of the projects have completion times of 30 minutes (including one that requires you to build a pinball machine). Of the two projects that have a 2 hour completion time, one is a lower-tech option for one of the 30 minute projects. I'm not sure how rewiring an electronic toy could take 1/4 the time that it takes to wrap wire around metal keys.

I can't wait to use this book with my junior high students. It is full of great projects that the kids will love. We used Makey Makey in our classroom last year for the first time and the kids were crazy for it. This book helps guide student to expand their coding and engineering knowledge!

This book had some clever ideas and blended many makerspace concepts (use of sewable circuits, 3D prints, etc). Even better if they write an edition for teachers w/ content connections. Otherwise, a great resource for a makerspace

A lot of the seem way too hard, even their "beginner" projects. I hope the kids are smarter than me.
