What a Wonderful Book! (5 stars)
“I am so glad I got this book! I am a 4th grade teacher at a STEM school, and have been setting up a makerspace in my classroom over the last few years, as funds have allowed. As I was searching for supplies for that makerspace, I came upon this book, and decided on a whim to buy it….I am SO GLAD I got it!
With the Next Generation Science Standards having engineering design as an integral component of science instruction, this book will prove very valuable! It walks kids through how to design their ideas in a way that is accurate and useful, and it teaches them how to think through that process.
Modeling is such an important aspect of the engineering design process, and this book will help immensely. It trains kids to do scale models, 3D models, front/side/plan models, cutaway models, and much more, and I can’t wait to start using it with my students. Thank you, Ms. Martin, for producing such a wonderful book!”

“I use this resource as an activity for students who finish their graded sketches early in my Design and Modeling class. This gives them something engaging to do, while helping them to practice using the skills that we learn in D&M to sketch objects for production.”
Extremely satisfied (5 stars)
“Great for an intro activity on Isometric drawing. Used for my drafting and design class!”

“Even though this was for younger students it worked well with high schoolers with a few changes.”

“This was literally a life saver for distance learning in the spring. We were able to give students paper packets of things before quarantine happened. Students enjoyed having something on paper to do instead of all of it being digital.”
