Reviews
"""Teaching STEAM Through Hands-On Crafts is a must-have for any STEAM teacher! The authors are long-time experts in all of the traditional crafts as well as being expert STEAM educators. The lessons in the book, backed by extensive research, deftly connect practical and historical knowledge to formal STEAM knowledge in a way that will help students understand and appreciate the details of everyday materials and objects."" Erin Peters-Burton Ph.D., Donna R. and David E. Sterling Endowed Professor in Science Education, George Mason University, USA. ""The multitude of activities my teacher used from Teaching STEAM Through Hands-On Crafts engaged your brain and way of thinking, as well as brought to light a new hobby or pastime that otherwise would’ve been hidden. I especially enjoyed weaving and bread making. It utilizes both the left and right sides of your brain. You learn the history, technology, and chemistry of it all. It was a class that I truly enjoyed and looked forward to every day. I now have an otherwise unknown interest in these many activities. The activities were wonderful, and I am glad I had the opportunity to experience them."" Blaise Bruni, 7th Grade Student, Discovery Middle School, Madison Alabama, USA."
