These quarter-sized, stackable, Arduino and LEGO-compatible modules allow Makers to bring their ideas to life. If there’s one trend that is continuing to evolve throughout the Maker Movement, it’s modularity. DIYers are constantly seeking expedited and efficient ways to piece together their projects, all while bringing their ideas to life without the hassles of soldering and wiring […]
Control these open-source, 3D-printable race cars with your mobile device. As a way to get more young Makers interested in pursuing STEM-related fields, one Cambridge startup has launched a set of customizable, open-source race car kits. Cannybot Racers are 3D-printable, Bluetooth-enabled toy vehicles that can be remotely controlled using any mobile device, or even a Raspberry Pi. Keeping in line […]
This wearable sensor platform allows you to harness the power of muscle signals. Using our muscles to control the world around us is something we are all accustomed to — whether that’s pushing buttons on TV remotes, pulling door handles or toggling game joysticks.

LVL 1 is hoping to become the first drone for everyone. Several years ago, the mere idea of having a robotic cleaning device make its way around the floors of your home seemed well beyond our time. But since its debut in 2002, Roomba has gone on to sell well over 10 million units worldwide with new and improved functionality introduced with […]
Nearly 133,000 3D printers were shipped globally in 2014, accounting for $3.3 billion in revenue. If you thought 3D printing was merely a fad, you thought wrong. According to Canalys, the market will continue to build upon its momentum from last year which saw 133,000 printers shipped — a 68% jump from 2013. This resulted in $3.3 billion in revenue generated by printer sales and their […]
This 3D printer is setting a new standard for design and price. Given the rise of the Maker Movement, it’s not unusual to hear about a new 3D printer making its debut on Kickstarter. However, when that 3D printer aspires to change up the game, it’s certainly worth noting. Tiko is a budget-friendly, Delta-style 3D printer that has […]
What stands at 12-feet-tall, emits 300 gallons of smoke and provides a full weekend of BBQ deliciousness?
