Recently, I was contacted by Avery/Gotham of the Penguin Group USA to give my readers the chance to win a free copy of the Geek Dad book. I’ve always been a fan of Wired Magazine’s GeekDad blog. Consequently when one of the writers, Ken Denmead, decided to compile a book of projects for Dads and kids to share that incorporated the fun aspects of science and well, geekiness, I took notice. As a parent, it’s my duty to challenge my children to think in both conventional and unconventional ways. The project ideas presented in the Geek Dad book provide opportunities for adults and kids to challenge themselves as well as one another.
Some examples of projects provided in the Geek Dad book:
- Make a Super Hero ABC Book
- Create the Ultimate Board Game
- Crochet a Dicebag
- Build a Binary Calendar
