If your school provides open, unstructured time in the Makerspace for students to tinker then having a few project-based books on making readily available is one strategy to inspire action. The following 4 books are filled with amazing projects and tips. The 5th book is a great resource on tools. If you do get any of these then be sure to leave them out on the tables where students can find them on their own!
