Joshua's new book is designed for people interested in making and creating. It's filled with ways to save money by making use of free and open-source technologies on a wide range of products. There are chapters that cover how to make scientific tools for STEM, become a citizen scientist, and info on how to get free books on every subject imaginable. The book also covers the potential of DIY manufacturing and recycling projects that are appropriate for kids and can boost STEM education.
