The Maker movement incorporates everything from costumes to woodworking and architecture to electronics. We often celebrate those who create the most incredible and amazing projects - but sometimes the truly incredible projects are those that are fun and help get people hooked on making.
At the Atom + Geek Science Shop, we have a Maker kit that is uniquely Saskatchewan - the Useless Machine! Follow along as Ryan builds a Useless Machine!
It’s a great project to do all alone or with a friend or child, and it’s great for a first project or just a fun way to spend an evening.
Looking for something a little more custom? Solder an LED across the motor terminals so that it lights up when the motor runs. Or, use it to trigger a program on an Arduino and have it play a random sound!
Get your very own Useless Machine at the Atom + Geek Science Shop, or buy online!
