Craft meets STEAM in these lively books that will help you design,
build and create! Get ready to build your very own transport hub!
From a maglev train to a cable car to a helicopter, step-by-step
projects will give you all the instructions you need to make every
element a model transport hub requires. Learn about principles of
design and engineering as well as craft techniques to unleash your
creativity! Every project has been designed to work using things
you can find lying around at home, like disposable containers and
packaging, and basic art and craft equipment. Why not check out the
other books in the Maker Models series? Each book focuses on a
place and will go through creating various parts of the structure.
You could learn to make a space centre, a fairground, a transport
hub, a mini-garden and biosphere or a theatre and film set, and all
the elements that constitute them. For children aged 9+, this
illustrated series will be great for rainy days and science days
and a good inspiration for DT classes and clubs.

Harry Ferguson was an engineering genius. His ability to visualise
and build a new system that changed the role of the tractor on the
farm, changed farming around the world. The system in use today is
still the same system he developed, all those years ago and this
book tells how he saved countless farmers lives. We also read how
the design changed the way tractors are used on farms. We hear
about the effect on the 1930's Wall St crash ans the need for the
tractor and how the little grey Fergie saved an Australian town.
The story then tells us about a Danish company that has made the
tractor a media star. Harry Ferguson and his tractor, changed the
world.
