Science At Home - Make A Useless Machine
We often celebrate those who create the most incredible and amazing projects - but sometimes the truly incredible projects are those that are fun and get people hooked on making.

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!
