March 2024 - Build a House Challenge

How can you build a house using straws and pipe cleaners?

“You can. You should. And if you’re brave enough to start, you will.

-Stephen King

Good Morning,

Welcome to the March, 2023 newsletter by MAKE Publishing! Our mission is to educate, inspire, and equip the next generation to win in manufacturing. Included in this newsletter you will find each of our pillars; Read, Build, Experience. We are honored to have your family part of the MAKE Community, let’s get started!

Read

Page 7 is the first example that brings manufacturing to life for our readers. The purpose of this page is to show kids that manufacturing is everywhere, starting with a behind-the-scenes look at how something they use everyday is built; a playground! Pick up a copy of Blake Explores Manufacturing to see more examples of manufacturing in the life of a child.

Build

Calling all Future Makers! It is time to build. Please join us in this months’ manufacturing activity; building a house with pipe cleaners and straws. Join us this morning and get hands on in manufacturing! See our Parents + Educators page for helpful hints to guide your children through this activity.

Experience

Manufacturing is best learned through hands-on experiences. Located in Bloomington, MN The Works Museum provides an incredible experience for kids of all ages. They make engineering fun with hands-on activities, real tools, and everyday materials. See this Future Maker, Lucas, hard at work!
