We’re so excited to be launching our massive Kit-A-Day Giveaway! To celebrate the release of our latest publication, the Make: Ultimate Kit Guide 2012 (and its companion website), we’re giving away one of the cool kits reviewed in the issue each day during the holiday season. From Arduino and electronics kits to beer-making kits to geeky watch and clock kits to… believe it or not… FIVE free MakerBots! We’re giving away nearly $9,000 of dollars in Maker Shed merchandise!

To be eligible, here’s what you have to do:

• Go to the current giveaway (announced each morning at 9am PST). On this page, it’ll be the top post.
• Leave a comment in the current day’s giveaway post (comments left in the announcement post you are now reading are NOT eligible). If you are not registered for commenting, you’ll need to register or you can log in with your Google, Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo or OpenID account.
• At the end of each day (at 11:59pm PST), we’ll select one respondent at random and contact him/her via email (or the method by which they registered to comment). You’ll have 48 hours to respond. If you enter, make sure to check that login source (eg. your Facebook account) to see if we’ve messaged you.
• That’s it! No purchase necessary or anything else to do. Please leave only one comment per post. You can enter as many giveaways as you like until you win. The giveaway is for US residents only.

NOTE: The first MakerBot giveaway is over! Please see the latest giveaway here and leave the entry comment in the current giveaway post (the day you are reading this, after 9am PST). You must post your comment in the giveaway post for that day to be eligible.
