Invent To Learn: Making, Tinkering, and Engineering in the Classroom: Sylvia Libow Martinez, Gary S. Stager: 9780989151108: Amazon.com: Books - 12 views

The active learner is at the center of the learning process, amplifying the best traditions of progressive education. This book helps educators bring the exciting opportunities of the maker movement to every classroom."
