Cardboard is everywhere! For creative kids aged 9 to 14, it’s the perfect eco-friendly building material, and Cardboard Box Engineering is the perfect guide to get them started on inventive tinkering. A working kaleidoscope, a marble roller coaster, a robotic hand, and a wind-powered tractor with cardboard gears are just some of the ingenious projects developed by Jonathan Adolph, author of the best-selling Mason Jar Science . Working with simple household tools, kids can follow the step-by-step photographic instructions to exercise their design smarts, expand their 3-D thinking, and learn the basics of physics and engineering with activities that have real-life applications. Review: Lots of good ideas! - This book looked promising, so I purchased a copy. Once I got it, I was so excited that I gave my copy to a teacher friend of mine and bought another for myself! While my kids are grown, I sometimes have my friend's daughter (10 y.o.) over for projects. I showed her the book and asked her to flag the projects she thought looked good. She flagged so many, I had to have her prioritize the top three. The directions are clear with lots of pictures but also provide for options. There is information about the science behind the projects. A great way to reuse existing cardboard and have fun making useful toys/projects. Review: For an older child with good cardboard cutting skills, with creativity and curious mind! - Unfortunately, I bought this for the wrong kid! Didn’t know…grandson is on the spectrum. This former teacher recommends it for children who love to build and who love to recycle all those desertcart boxes!Who doesn’t have boxes just lying around! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #13,951 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #11 in Children's Books on Inventions & Inventors #15 in Children's Science Experiment Books #24 in Children's How Things Work Books (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 549 Reviews | ## Images ![Cardboard Box Engineering: Cool, Inventive Projects for Tinkerers, Makers & Future Scientists - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91vSW484brL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lots of good ideas! *by L***N on January 27, 2024* This book looked promising, so I purchased a copy.
