"Unbored "is the guide and activity book every modern kid needs.
Vibrantly designed, lavishly illustrated, brilliantly walking the
line between cool and constructive, it's crammed with activities
that are not only fun and doable but also designed to get kids
engaged with the wider world.
With contributions from a diverse crowd of experts, the book
provides kids with information to round out their world view and
inspire them to learn more. From how-tos on using the library or
writing your representative to a graphic history of video games,
the book isn't shy about teaching. Yet the bulk of the 350-page
mega-resource presents hands-on activities that further the mission
in a fun way, featuring the best of the old as well as the best of
the new: classic science experiments, crafts and upcycling, board
game hacking, code-cracking, geocaching, skateboard repair,
yarn-bombing, stop-action movie-making-plus tons of sidebars and
extras, including trivia, best-of lists, and Q&As with leading
thinkers whose culture-changing ideas are made accessible to kids
for the first time.
Just as kids begin to disappear into their screens, here is a book
that encourages them to use those tech skills to be creative, try
new things, and change the world. And it encourages parents to
participate. "Unbored" is exciting to read, easy to use, and
appealing to young and old, girl and boy. Parents will be comforted
by its anti-perfectionist spirit and humor. Kids will just think
it's awesome.
