Sylvia's Super-Awesome Project Book: Super-Simple Arduino (Volume 2) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780989151160)

Super-Awesome Sylvia started making and tinkering with things when she was 7, and loves to try new things. One year after visiting Maker Faire, she and her dad were inspired to create a Web show about making things modestly titled, "Sylvia's Super-Awesome Maker Show", where she shows kids and adults that making things can be fun, easy and more rewarding than just buying something. Millions of views later, Sylvia has covered everything from hobby rocketry, to sewable soft circuits. The show has garnered attention from parents and educators the world over. Learners of all ages report that the show gets students them in making things and learning something along the way. She is a girl scout and has three younger siblings. Sylvia has been profiled on network news, People Magazine, and in the New York Times. In 2014, Sylvia became an author by launching a series of full-color children's books, "Sylvia's Super-Awesome Project Books," published by Constructing Modern Knowledge Press.
