Girls Garage: How to Use Any Tool, Tackle Any Project, and Build the World You Want to See (Teenage Trailblazers, STEM Building Projects for Girls)

LOCAL AUTHOR

If you identify as a girl, and you love to build things, then Girls Garage is a must-read! Can you relate to having a love of creating objects with your own hands, but when there are boys around, you get pushed aside or not taken seriously? Emily Pilloton, the founder of Girls Garage located in California, has created this book to allow girls everywhere to have no excuse when it comes to “intimidating” tools or building terms around men. She has divided the book into sections about safety, tools, essential skills, and building projects to tackle on your own. In the section on tools, there are pictures available with arrows and labels, and then added fun facts about specific tools. There is a plethora of information included that will help you in many areas of your life!
Not having much experience in building things, but loving the idea of it, I feel more informed about the construction world now. I appreciated the pictures to give me a better idea of the tools that my husband uses. I am excited to show off my new knowledge to the world!
