I've gotten every issue of make so far, and this one is just as good as the others.

The editorials about the decline of basic tech skills helped clarify my unorganized thoughts on the decline of the lower orders of tech. We are raising a generation of theorists who lack the hands on tinkering skills needed to test their own theories, and discover new ones.

The rubber band powered toy car launcher is such a great project for parents and kids to try together.

*WARNING: general complaint follows*
My only gripe about Make is the emphasis on "higher" level skills i.e. higher than I have. Soldering is okay, working from plans is okay, but I can't program to save myself, and making my own circuit boards is beyond me. Arduino programming? Out of my league, for now.
I would like to see more of the "simpler" projects in each issue, things that don't need programming, custom boards, etc. I like those, and can do them.
That said, it does push me to get the extra skills needed to make the really cool stuff, which I need and like. But before I get those skills it's a bit annoying.
I'm not saying that that is all there is in the mag, but more of the simpler introductory stuff wouldn't go amiss.
All in all, I love it.

As a physical science teacher, I tend to do the same thing repetitively. I was looking for materials that excite both me and the middle school age kids. I am slowly sorting through the projects and adapting for the age group. Thanks for being my muse.

Got this as an xmas gift to my dad who has always loved science & technology. I love the Mythbusters. He worked in construction for years as well so I thought this would be entertaining to him. Seemed to enjoy it just fine.
