Our latest Make: book is finally out! It teaches first-semester college level physics (mechanics, specifically) using maker-level stuff, like micro:bits, 3D prints, and craft materials. Find it at www.makershed.com/collections/... (Ebook coming soon!) #maker #makerEd #STEMeducation
The cover of Make: Physics, subtitle "Build projects to explore calculus-based mechanics", showing a toy windmill, several micro:bits in 3D printed holders, and a 3D printed top.
