AN EXTREME STEM RESOURCE FOR TEACHERS
Developed over seven years, Ultrawild is an optimistic book about creative thinking, science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) and the potential for massive change. Ultrawild explores visions for rapidly transforming and rewilding cities to reverse climate change and species extinction. It presents both imaginative and real world technologies for renewable energy and rewilding.
Filled with laugh-out-loud design-ridiculousness, it aims to empower and excite a new generation of designers, scientists, engineers and ultra-wild thinkers.
Ultrawild has won Best Designed Children's Non-Fiction book (2024 Australian Book Design Awards), and the 2024 Elsie Locke Award For Best Nonfiction (NZ).
Ultrawild is currently being translated into German (release due October 2024), and Chinese (release due 2025). And a US version will be released in 2025.
'If this book does not fire your imagination, nothing will. Steve Mushin doesn't hold back when thinking about our green future; humanity needs all the ideas it can get to bring climate change under control, and this book is packed with them!'
Professor James Renwick, climate scientist
