Review

"A wonderful book full of puzzles to challenge the mind. Not only does it get your kids thinking, it also provides a fun alternative to electronic overstimulation and promotes healthy critical thinking through fun games that span across multiple educational categories. My younger siblings have had a blast in-between its pages, and I must say I have, too!" --Eagan Tilghman, STEAM Expert, Contestant on NBC's Making It.
"This all-encompassing activity book on STEAM will keep your child on the edge of their seat as they learn about everything from astronauts to circuits. This book is beautifully illustrated, wonderfully diverse, and technical yet approachable. Whether you are teaching a classroom or giving your child a book to keep them entertained on a road trip, this is the book for you." --Danielle Boyer, STEAM founder, inventor, and author of The STEAM Connection.
"This book is a STEAM buffet! From wordplay to math and logic puzzles, this highly interactive text empowers children to explore STEAM content while simultaneously solving authentic problems." --Mandi Figlioli, children's author and PK-12 instructional designer
"Through her countless hours dedicated to teaching and promoting STEAM topics to young learners, Tori has amassed an engaging adventure of activities exploring an almost exhaustive list of introductory STEAM topics. There's enough in this book to spark the interest and imagination of every young learner (and most parents). If I had this book when I was young, I may have discovered my passion for STEAM topics before my senior year in high school." --Matthew D. Stuber, PhD, assistant professor at UTC Institute for Advanced Systems Engineering
"Tori Cameron has created a book for students to explore innovative problem-solving in the form of puzzles, engaging questions, and STEM activities.
