Intelligent Hands: Why Making Is a Skill for Life

This book explores the decline of craft and creative education in schools and higher education, and how this has led to a lack of hand skills among young people. The authors argue that hand skills are crucial in education and for lifelong learning, and present existing research and personal stories to support their case.

With a focus on the benefits of combining physical ways of learning with conceptual knowledge, Intelligent Hands aims to persuade those who dismiss craft as a hobby or believe it's only for those who can't use their heads. The book also provides inspiration for those planning school curricula and further reading for specialty interests.
