Geeky science experiments, geeky contraptions, crafts that only geeks can fully appreciate – Geek Dad is light years ahead of books on intelligent fun. Techie parents everywhere are charged about these geeky DIY projects to share with their young geeks in training.
Every geek father hopes that somewhere along the way his protege discovers that dad’s geekiness is no less than the square root of genius.
Good laughs and fresh family bonds are bound to happen over this off-the-wall project book. Eager geek dads and curious kids open the book and marvel together at all the geeky, unconventional uses of science and technology. Chock full of activities that pull your clever inner child out of the norm, send your mind spinning off the beaten track, chase your creativity far outside the lines, and take the techie in you to task.
No matter where your kids fall on the scale of geekiness, they’ll fall head over heels for the zany content. It’s a lighthearted read, yet heavy on substance. So well done, so appealing to today’s dads of the digital age, it’s headed for serious geek accolades.
Created by a well-known supergeek and father of two, Ken Denmead is an engineer and editor of GeekDad, on wired.com. This guy gets being a geek. He knows the importance of the right illustrations, brilliant antics, a step-by-step format, and adapting to any timeframe or budget.

As one of the top online toy retailers, we have access to unprecendented quantities of product review data. One of the key ways that we use this data is by associating our products to the specific ages and genders of the kids who are playing with them. Whereas most retailers must rely upon manufacturer suggested ages (i.e. 3+), we take actual customer usage and share it with you here so that you can choose the perfect toy or game.
But how does this help me? You can use these graphs as a general measure of it's appropriateness for a given age and gender. While this information is generally accurate, it should not be used as an absolute answer. For instance, many dinosaur toys are purchased for boys, however, that doesn't mean that it's inappropriate for a girl who happens to like dinosaurs.

 |
NOTE: The orange color in the charts above indicate ages that are LESS than the manufacturer suggested age. Please purchase at your discretion if your child is younger than 0 years of age.
