Invent To Learn is now available as an audio book from Audible
It's always fun to wake up to an offer you didn't expect!
Just days ago, Amazon emailed us and said that thanks to the magic of AI, our book, Invent to Learn - Making, Tinkering, and Engineering in the Classroom, was eligible to become an instant audio book via Audible. Would we like that?
Sure - why not?
So we pushed the button and in literally a few minutes, we were treated to our book being read out loud by a virtual voice. We were impressed with the lively, expressive reading, and how good it sounded. We could choose from seven different voices, and tweak the pronunciation of any word we wanted, but really, it was 99% good to go.
Technology! Amazing!
Now you can listen to the book, known to as the “bible of the maker movement in schools,” on-the-go anywhere anytime. Even if you read Invent to Learn in the past, listening to it during your commute, walk, or jog may inspire some new ideas.
Check out the Audible book here.

We are most...
