Book description
You don't need kids to tell you that Making is Fun. Just get them in a room with simple projects, common household tools and utensils, inexpensive supplies, and their imagination. All young people need is an interest in how the world works, the right tools to explore, and some projects to serve as jumping-off points for their explorations. Make: Simple Flying Things offers five flight projects that are easy to build, inexpensive, and expandable--just add imagination!
