In the Maker Shed: DayCounter Kit

Maker Shed

The Maker Shed is brought to you by Maker Media, the makers of MAKE Magazine, the Maker Faire, and much more.

Launched originally as a source for back issues of MAKE Magazine, the Maker Shed expanded rapidly to meet the demand for 'projects in a box,' otherwise known as kits. Now we have a little bit of everything for makers, crafters, and budding scientists, from Arduinos to sock monkeys to chemistry sets .

Are you counting down the days until school lets out? Why? Let the DayCounter kit do it for you! This kit from the Maker Shed comes pre-programmed with software that allows it to count up one day at a time, or have it count down one day at a time from a set number. The kit easily mounts in a frame, or poster-board (not included), so you can customize the surrounding text to suit your particular needs. A single DayCounter kit is good for up to 99 days, and they can be “chained together” serially to give you more digits. Hint – Today might be a good day to start following the Maker Shed on Twitter or subscribe to our Deal of the Day RSS feed.
