Make:

For the person on your shopping list who adores science and building with a touch of electronics I bring you some awesome kits from “Make:” I can’t wait to see my kids faces with their new “Brushbots”; a great kit complete with what you need to make four robots out of your toothbrush! This is a great lesson in basic electronics and before long you will be racing your “brushbot” who runs across the floor like a tiny robotic insect. The kit retails for $19.99. Next up, we are excited to give a few bicycle projects a try in our “Make: Bicycle Projects” book. The book features 18 DIY projects that are designed to personalize your bike exactly as you want it. We are currently trying to add a rig that will keep my smartphone connected safely and up next we try a hand at LED lighting for night-time riding. Such an impressive book that will really spark your creativity! “Make: Marshmallow Shooter Kit” will be a huge hit in this house. No tools or glue needed: simply assemble the PVC parts to make 2 shooters, grab some marshmallows (sold separately) and you are ready for some good clean combat! I really love the products on this website http://www.makershed.com/. Some really great kits to make robots, lighting, games, complete scientific experiments, work with microscopes, super cool drones and more.
