Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conventional education is struggling to provide the learning environment necessary to help raise the future innovators, problem solvers, and entrepreneurs that advanced societies need.

With strong philosophical and scientific underpinnings, Maker Education provides a unique opportunity to complement, and even supplement, our failing conventional education. This book shows you how. Are you a teacher? A parent? A learner? Then this book is for you. This book will help you to understand and apply the power of Maker Education.
