Exploring the potential of makerspaces, each of these short volumes provides instructions for six electronic or engineering projects that make use of listed supplies. Photographs accompany clear instructions, and brightly colored backgrounds and lively fonts create an engaging aesthetic. Even if the finished projects vary in appeal to some readers, overall they encourage interest in tinkering. Includes tips for "Makerspace Maintenance." Glos., ind. Review covers these titles: Connect It!, Robotify It!, Light It!, and Move It!.
