dauphin Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 I took a look at the Popular Mechanics mag and it looked a big technical (and car-focused too?). I've wondered about maybe Popular Science... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madteaparty Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 This looks good. What age would you say this works for? Scientific American, for example, is too advanced for my 10 yr old. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahW Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 :bigear: I'm thinking of getting CP a subscription to Ask magazine. It's not as engineering focused as I would like, but it seems like it would hit the "I want to know cool facts about things!" buttons.

angela in ohio Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Popular Science, Robot, MAKE According to my dd, about every third Popular Science is boring (car-focused, I'm assuming,) but the rest are fine. Just a warning, though. Popular Mechanics and Science are for older audiences, and I have to preview and pull out ED and online dating ads sometimes.

underthebridge Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I think it is fine for a 10 year old. Take a look! You can get a free sample on iTunes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaChicken Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Make, although I'm off to check out Robot. There's also an online http://makercamp.com going on all summer. Different theme each week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 How about a book? The New Way Things Work by David Macaulay and Neil Ardley "The information age is upon us, baffling us with thousands of complicated state-of-the-art technologies. To help make sense of the computer age, David Macaulay brings us The New Way Things Work. This completely updated and expanded edition describes twelve new machines and includes more than seventy new pages detailing the latest innovations. With an entirely new section that guides us through the complicated world of digital machinery, where masses of electronic information can be squeezed onto a single tiny microchip, this revised edition embraces all of the newest developments, from cars to watches. Each scientific principle is brilliantly explained--with the help of a charming, if rather slow-witted, woolly mammoth."

TechWife Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Just a warning, though. Popular Mechanics and Science are for older audiences, and I have to preview and pull out ED and online dating ads sometimes. This. I just won't give them my money.
