We had so much fun making HackSpace magazine (and we hope you had fun reading it). It’s been a couple of months now since we incorporated HackSpace into a bigger, brighter, better version of The MagPi. While the standalone magazine may have gone from the shelves, it’s still on the immortal internet, where you can download every issue for free. And if that’s not enough to cater for your desire to make semi-useful things out of home electronics, microcontrollers, 3D printers and the like, there’s the Book of Making 2025 to scratch your itch, on sale today in all good bookshops and online from the Raspberry Pi Press store.

Book of Making 2025 distills the essence of HackSpace magazine down to our favourite maker projects. Whether you want to build a rocket or hot air balloon, learn 3D-printed mechanical engineering, or control the world around you with a Raspberry Pi Pico, there’s something for you here.

This book is full of projects perfect for an hour, afternoon, or weekend; be inspired by the amazing community projects you’ll find in its pages and make your own creations using step-by-step guides.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Work with microcontrollers and electronic circuits
  • Design for 2D and 3D fabrication methods and make them a reality
