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 .

The Drum Kit Kit, available from the Maker Shed, lets turn you Arduino (not included) into a drum kit! Piezo discs act as the drum sensors so you can build your own pads or stick the the discs to your desk, paper cups, walls, or anything else that might carry a beat. The software lets your Arduino interface with Garageband or other music program like Abelton Live.
