Let's Build A Nothing Machine: A Paper Model Kit For Kids

By Albert B. Squid and Square Root of Squid Publishing

There are people in the world that make nothing. So wouldn't it be great to make something that helps them make nothing? Introducing THE NOTHING MACHINE! This is a machine that you can build that actually makes nothing at all. Though it does not produce anything, this machine does have a function and that is teaching kids how machines work. This book will teach kids the fundamentals of mechanics as they build THE NOTHING MACHINE from scratch with the instructions and pre-sized cut-out parts included inside. Kids will have hours of fun putting together the gears, shafts, and other parts to build a machine that makes nothing. This hands-on paper model-building kit will also give kids an awesome engineering experience allowing them to learn the basics of mechanics while immersing themselves in a very fun STEM activity.
