CURRICULUM

BOOK

Making Machines – out of Paper and Sticks is the first Iridescent publication to support the learning through hands-on experiment.

Have you ever wondered how a gull’s wings work or how your heart is able to pump blood up against gravity, how a hot air balloon is able to lift hundreds of pounds just with hot air? These are just some of the amazing things that you will learn about – by creating your very own unique working versions. Welcome and share the pleasure of finding things out! Buy your very own copy.

Download a reader pdf version of the book. Available in English and Spanish.

The cover is inspired in the “How Things Work” mural, by Ioana Urma. Click here to know the history behind the mural designed for the first Iridescent Science Studio, in L.A.
