Kato 25-915-1 N Scale "STEAM" Up your Railway Modeling Design Skills

STEAM Up Your Railway Modeling - Design Skills for N Gauge Dioramas from Kato is a book that tells how model railroading can be educational for students. STEAM = Science and Technology, interpreted through Engineering and the Arts, all based in elements of Mathematics, is a well-known concept in many of today's schools. One of the early pioneers of the STEAM learning programs, Georgette Yakman, proposed a means of melding all of these subjects together in a way to help students learn important skills for development. Model railroading is perfectly suited to STEAM programs with the ways that it supports engineering, arts, and design in particular with layout and scenery building. This 30-page booklet focuses on the five pillars of STEAM as they relate to N Scale diorama and layout building, and is a great tool for aspiring modelers to discover the joys of model railroading through STEAM. This booklet is 30 pages in length, full-color, and contains pages upon pages of layout and diorama building advice and tips from professionals and educators. Softcover, 30 Pages
