Hans Stam is the dad half of the book Raise a Builder and the one who came up with the idea. He has spent two decades working with manufacturers in China and lives in Berlin. He is not a maker by trade. His only qualification is the one the book asks of any parent: he opened doors, said sure, and didn't panic at the mess.
Peter Stam is the kid half. He found his way into making through cooking, which started with a kit and never stopped. He also took to 3D printing, which he is now cheerfully better at than his dad.
Raise a Builder is available now at raiseabuilder.com. “A parents guide to raising kids who love to make things.”
