The Popular Science Inventor's Manual
The Popular Science Guide for Hackers and Inventors
Reading Level: 8

Not everyone can become a technological genius who starts a multimillion-dollar company, but everyone can learn to tinker, to use tools, scavenge parts, fix broken items, and maybe even design their own invention. Readers will discover how to transition from brainstorming to testing to a product that's ready to market and sell. Sidebars on the visionaries who invented the digital camera, the Roomba, and more will inspire readers to pursue their own creative dreams.
