What we’re all about... Our mission at MAKE is to inspire, inform, and engage makers of all ages by showing how much fun it is to make things. At our annual Maker Faires, we bring all kinds of makers together to share what they make. In the Maker Shed, which began as our store at Maker Faire, we want to help you get started making. We have a wide variety of fun kits that are great ways to learn how to make cool things.

Arduino Uno $29.99
Arduino is an amazing tool for physical computing — it's an open source microcontroller board, plus a free software development environment. Use it to make cool interactive objects that can sense inputs from switches, sensors, and computers — and then control motors, lights, and other physical outputs in the real world. MKSP11
Arduino Mega 2560 Arduino Due $64.99
$49.99
The Arduino Mega 2560 is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega2560. It has 54 digital input/output pins (of which 14 can be used as PWM outputs) and 16 analog inputs. The Mega is compatible with most shields designed for the Arduino Duemilanove or Diecimila. MKSP5
The Arduino Due, a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 based microcontroller may look like the Arduino Mega, but its handsome looks and pin-compatible layout are where the similarities end.
