Skill Seeker: Maker Edition

We are very excited to carry a new book by Steph Piper, Make: Skill Seeker Maker Edition

Ever wanted to learn new skills, but with the satisfaction of earning points and viewing progress on a video game dashboard? Skill Seeker is a new, powerful tool to help you level up your skills, identify your skill gaps, and self-reflect on your goals. Color in each tile as you progress and visualize your growth in a satisfying, colorful skill tree. Skill Seeker breaks up interest areas into small, achievable goals, milestones, and experiences that you can color in as you go.

Tally up your points and calculate your Maker XP (experience) score, complete fun video game–inspired self-reflection activities, and set your own personal goals. Use Skill Seeker to track years of growth across 15 maker skill areas as you evolve into who you are yet to become. Find a huge trove of 50-plus other skills online based on the popular open-access skill trees project.

Level up with friends and family and get on the same page by swapping scores and goals. Plan unique, new experiences and learning opportunities that target your growth. Get competitive and find out who has the higher score and who can level up faster. Collect stamps, stickers, and memories of places and events in the passport section.

This book is for both beginners and experts, and those who love the addictive power of games but desire more off-screen experiences.
