Attention young makers: We are preparing for the start of this year’s six-week-long Maker Camp (starts July 7), and to get everyone amped up, we have a fun challenge running right now: Make your own 3D Makey the robot!

Here’s how you do it:

1. Print out this template of Makey on a standard paper printer.

2. Take a fun photo of your Makey out in the wild. Maybe it’s on your backyard fence, or riding your pet dog, or inside your refrigerator. Get creative!

3. Post your Makey Selfie to the Maker Camp community page, with the hashtag #makercamp, by the end of the day Thursday (that’s tomorrow!). You can include a caption too, if you want.

We will pick our favorite Makey Selfie, and that person will win a Maker Camp T-shirt, stickers, and buttons. Can’t wait to see your Makey out in the wild!

    Was there a link to the template anywhere?
    I can’t find it.

      D’oh! Fail. Yes, I forgot to include the link. Here it is: https://makezineblog.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/makercamp_robot_template.pdf — same as the one Marc shared below. Thanks, Marc!

        I might be too old to be a young maker!

        I just made this for fun.

        These are my Micro Explorer robots from a story I am writing and animating. I also 3d printed the blue humanoid Dave.

        I am making him into a real robot.

        Anyone with a 3d printer can print the parts I uploaded to thingiverse.
