More than just a place to tinker with crafts, makerspaces have become a place for people of all ages to learn new skills and develop interests that can lead to a successful career. For students interested in design and prototyping, makerspaces offer a place to practice the design process, use sophisticated equipment to create prototypes, and collaborate and learn from others. This volume highlights several careers that combine interests in makerspaces and design and prototyping, accentuating different jobs, educational requirements, and job-search tips. Real-life stories of people working in design and prototyping inspire readers to use makerspaces to launch their own successful careers.

      Gr 7 Up-Job options in design, electronics, manufacturing, welding, and more are explored in this series, and connections to makerspaces are highlighted, especially in Careers in Robotics. Each book is divided into chapters: definitions of the career, how to get a head start and land a job, industries that offer opportunities in each field, and the history of related concepts. Sample interview questions and advice on how to go about searching for jobs in each industry are included. Advanced concepts in this series make it ideal for grades five and up, but caregivers could guide younger readers through it, especially if they're enthusiastic about career possibilities in STEM. Many identities are represented, including a woman wearing a hijab while working in the book about welding. VERDICT There's something for every hopeful scientist, designer, or engineer in these books. Ideal for a large school or public library collection.
