“We shape our tools, then our tools shape us.”
-Marshall McLuhan & John Culkin
This month we are highlighting tools. Tools are devices that are made to carry out a specific function. Tools make manufacturing possible. What better time to learn about tools than right now as a kid and with MAKE through our three pillars - Read, Build and Experience.
READ
The final section of our first book, Blake Explores Manufacturing, are two coloring sheets. These coloring sheets are included so that our readers can personalize their book. This month, as we focus on tools, we invite each of our readers to color this page and submit their work via Facebook, Instagram or LinkedIn.
BUILD
This month’s building activity has a twist. It’s a timed race for points and the opportunity to challenge yourselves, and your family members.
Subscribe to our Future Makers Newsletter for the Tool Identification Activity instructions!
EXPERIENCE
It was a busy month for the MAKE Publishing team!
Attended the Future of Manufacturing event hosted by Brookshire Company
Completed the first draft of our second book Blake Prepares for Manufacturing (coming soon!)
Shared our mission at St. Odilia School in Shoreview, Minnesota.
Teaching kids about how to identify and use tools properly is a skillset they can utilize for the rest of their life - empowering them to solve problems and while working with their hands.
