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 .

So you want to get mobile with your Arduino, or other micro controller, and you aren’t sure where to start? The Maker Shed has 2 different platforms to get you started. Choose either the 2WD or 4WD kit depending on your needs. Both platforms include geared motors, wheels, and a high-strength aluminum alloy body. Keep in mind, you still need a power supply and motor driver, but these kits get you miles ahead of starting from scratch.
