Maker Escape - The disappeared Makey

24 days, 24 electronic puzzles, a robot for assembling: The make: The advent calendar brings technology fun into the advent season. The focus is on Makey – the likeable robot mascot of the magazine "Make:", which is assembled piece by piece during the advent season and is at the end a complete figure on a pinboard.

 

24 days full of puzzles and discoveries

Behind every door the components and a tricky everyday puzzle are hidden. Whether it's building circuits, getting to know electronic components or decoding – a new challenge awaits every day. An integrated escape controller with LED matrix leads through the Advent season, confirms solved tasks and reveals which little doors are continuing along the next day. The special thing is that the doors are not marked with numbers, but with symbols – the correct sequence is only obtained by solving the puzzles.

 

Makey grows with it

Makey consists of four parts – body with legs, head and two arms – which are assembled during the Advent season. The body carries the Escape controller together with the LED matrix, control button and button cell. The head has two bright LED eyes, the arms are equipped with a piezo converter and a microphone capsule.

 

The grand final on December 24

Once all 24 puzzles are solved, Makey rewards with a Christmas melody and optical light show.
