Gift cards for MAKE gift subscriptions
MAKE Magazine — When I was a kid my grandmother gave me a subscription to World magazine, it was a kids version of National Geographic - I grew up in the middle of nowhere and we also didn't have TV - each month I'd wait outside on the dirt road for the postal delivery of the magazine. It was magical, photos from far away places, simple how-tos of things I could make, puzzles, games - it was one of the best things I remember growing up. It's safe to say I wouldn't be working on MAKE if it wasn't for that modest gift all those years. When parents and grandparents talk to us at Maker Faire or send us emails we hear similar stories - they got ...

Give MAKE/CRAFT to a school
MAKE Magazine — ... Last year I gave MAKE and CRAFT gift subscriptions to my son's school - I was in the school library the other day and saw the latest editions on the magazine rack, looking well-thumbed already! The librarian often sends me emails telling me about kids and teachers discovering the magazines in the library and getting really excited, and I know several teachers are starting to use them in their curriculum development. It makes me remember the first time I saw Make on the newsstand and how thrilled I was to find it existed - I love that I can pass that excitement and ...

Still life with MAKE gift card
MAKE Magazine — ... for the Maker Shed? Better yet, how about a customized version of the gift card or gift certificate?

The robot "talks" by squeezing the leads of one of the capacitors that make his body. Mr. Frauenfelder's head controls the pitch of the squeeling, the on/off of this sound is "controlled" simply by keeping the potentiometer just ever so lightly plugged in to the breadboard underneath the card so that the sound stops when it gets disconnected, allowing the robot to talk. Also, the trunk of the tree is chocolate. ...
