“The origin story of The Makers Club has captured well the anxieties of teen-hood, the discovery of self and the joy of making with a purpose. I am looking forward to buying multiple copies to share with the young people I love!”
— Dr. Loh Chin Ee, Teacher Educator and Reading Researcher at National Institute of Education
