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 .
Wave you hand over a completed Trippy RGB Waves kit, and watch the ‘trippy’ light show begin. Even when left alone, these little lights will still slowly cycle through an ever-changing display of colors. It’s a great kit for beginners, since it’s inexpensive and easy to solder together.
