Star Wars Maker Lab
Star Wars Maker Lab: 20 Craft and Science Projects | Liz Lee Heinecke, Cole Horton
6 posts
Ever wanted to move things without touching them like a Jedi can? Or grow your own kyber crystal? Or maybe explode a balloon with a beam of energy, just like the Death Star? Now you can! With 20 amazing projects, Star WarsTM Maker Lab teaches your budding Padawan how to become a Master of science, in both the real world and the Star Wars galaxy. Using clear step-by-step instructions, the book guides home scientists and makers through each exciting experiment-from making Jabba's gooey slime or a hovering landspeeder, to an Ewok catapult and a glowing Gungan Globe of Peace. Each experiment has fact-filled panels to explain the real-world science as well as the Star Wars science fiction from the movies. With projects that are out of this world, this fantastic Star Wars book can keep children entertained for hours, making use of many household items such as cardboard tubes, baking soda, cornstarch, straws, balloons, and food coloring. There is also plenty to keep more adventurous scientists enthralled, with instructions to make your own bristlebot mouse droid, lightsaber duel, and Mustafar volcano. Star Wars Maker Lab supports STEAM topics and helps children to learn the basics of science by traveling through the Star Wars galaxy. May the (static) Force be with you! & TM 2017 LUCASFILM LTD.

cobwebmoth Will the matches for this be sent out soon? Asking for my daughter.😊 5y
LibrarianRyan @cobwebmoth I could have sworn I sent out an email, But with Reaching Forward South on Friday, I may have done something funky with it.

We only had 2 people sign up. You and an Australia Litten @lapreader .

I am happy to make a round robin for all of us, but that leaves us all shipping internationally. I have been awaiting feedback, but I will go data mine my email to see if I buried it.

Repost for @LibrarianRyan :
Introducing #MakerSwapJr. In honor of spring break & summer vacation, I thought I would do a maker swap for our younger littens. Works just like the adults but more fun (I think).

I have been crafting since I was a child. It was the only way for adults to get me to sit still & shut up!

Just want to clarify. ANY AGE kid can join. Even forever kids. Just use “other” in age and grade. It should let you fill that in. I was trying for the ages I thought most likely to participate.

If you are signing up a forever kid, please indicate so in the notes.

If my terminology is incorrect, please excuse me. It‘s a term a group I work with uses.

Ex. My friend Tina is biologically 28 but will forever be 12 years old.
