Machines drive our world. Mechanical devices in assembly lines churn out all our products, from candy bars to cars. Engines power our vehicles and factories. Our homes depend on appliances like washers and water heaters. The work of machine maintenance professionals is crucial to keep these devices humming. Careers in this field are rewarding because they involve problem-solving and hands-on work. Makerspaces give young people the opportunity to explore and develop the skills needed for machine maintenance careers. This instructive resource reveals how sharing ideas, equipment, and knowledge through makerspaces can open doors to a wide range of opportunities in machine maintenance.

      Gr 7 Up-Job options in design, electronics, manufacturing, welding, and more are explored in this series, and connections to makerspaces are highlighted, especially in Careers in Robotics. Each book is divided into chapters: definitions of the career, how to get a head start and land a job, industries that offer opportunities in each field, and the history of related concepts. Sample interview questions and advice on how to go about searching for jobs in each industry are included. Advanced concepts in this series make it ideal for grades five and up, but caregivers could guide younger readers through it, especially if they're enthusiastic about career possibilities in STEM. Many identities are represented, including a woman wearing a hijab while working in the book about welding. VERDICT There's something for every hopeful scientist, designer, or engineer in these books. Ideal for a large school or public library collection.
