If you like the Reinventing Edison: Build your own Light Bulb science kit (proudly hand-made in the USA) then make sure to check out Harris Educational’s fan page on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/HarrisEducational) We are much more than just the kits, we post daily articles about science, technology, making, and education. We have 1000’s of photographs relating to STEM (including many from Maker Faire) and regular features like the Identify-It Challenge, STEM Vocabulary Builder, and more.
And don’t forget our Reinventing Morse: Build your own Telegraph kit (with more designs that link invention and history to science and technology on the way).
