"Unbored is the guide and activity book every modern kid needs.
Vibrantly designed, lavishly illustrated, brilliantly walking the line
between cool and constructive, it's crammed with activities that are
not only fun and doable but also designed to get kids engaged with the
wider world.
With contributions from a diverse crowd of experts,
the book provides kids with information to round out their worldview
and inspire them to learn more. From how-tos on using the library or
writing your representative to a graphic history of video games, the
book isn't shy about teaching. Yet the bulk of the 350-page
mega-resource presents hands-on activities that further the mission in
a fun way, featuring the best of the old as well as the best of the
new: classic science experiments, crafts and upcycling, board game
hacking, code-cracking, geocaching, skateboard repair, yarn bombing,
stop-action movie-making-plus tons of sidebars and extras, including
trivia, best-of lists, and Q&As with leading thinkers whose
culture-changing ideas are made accessible to kids for the first time."
