make_logo_cmykAre you looking to read up on 3D printing? From how to’s on getting started to advanced techniques to the fascinating history of this technology, if you’d been scouring your library, bookstores, and eBook selections just a couple of years ago, you would have perhaps been surprised to find virtually nothing. But given just a bit of time and an expanding community, while the makers have been making, the writers have been writing—and often they are one and the same.

With more content becoming available, now companies like Make: and Humble Bundle are teaming up to see that you are able to find a variety of stimulating, informative, and inspiring eBooks and magazines, all part of their mission to continue providing accessibility to and affordability in learning about technology, and especially from within the making community. They have another mission as well, and that’s to see STEM education furthered through your purchases, as profits go to learning opportunities for kids through Maker Ed when you buy.

Make: and Humble Bundle are also coming together to offer you more than just good deals—you can actually name your own price. And if you aren’t already familiar with Humble Bundle, they are a great resource for getting a good price and helping at the same time.

hb“We are thrilled to be once again bundling with our good friends at Make: in support of the fantastic Maker Ed,” said Kelley Allen, Humble Bundle’s Director of Books. “The Maker Movement endeavors to inspire the inner inventor within all of us by sparking creativity, resourcefulness and curiosity. Last year, I attended Maker Faire Bay Area and was blown away by the experience and the staggering amounts of imagination, inventiveness, and pure joy I found there.”
