Thomas, AnnMarie. (2014). Making Makers: Kids, Tools, and the Future of Innovations. Sebastopol, CA: MakerMedia. 978-1-4571-8374-4.
This is a book for parents and other educators—both formal and informal,
who are curious about the intersections of learning and making.
Through stories, research, and data, it builds the case for why it is
crucial to encourage today’s youth to be makers—to see the world as
something they are actively helping to create. For those who are new to
the Maker Movement, some history and introduction is given as well as
practical advice for getting kids started in making. For those who are
already familiar with the Maker Movement, this book provides
biographical information about many of the “big names” and unsung heroes
of the Maker Movement while also highlighting many of the attributes
that make this a movement that so many people are passionate about.
