We’re giving away amazing kits from our new Make: Ultimate Kit Guide EVERY DAY — thousands of dollars worth of merchandise, including MakerBots!

To celebrate the release of our latest publication, the Make: Ultimate Kit Guide 2012 (and its companion website), we’re giving away at least one of the cool kits reviewed in the issue each day during the holiday season.

Today’s giveaway is for a the Reinventing Edison: Build Your Own Lightbulb Kit (a $59.95 value.) Here is the review from the issue:

Thomas Edison purportedly said that he didn’t fail 700 times in trying to make the incandescent light, he succeeded in proving 700 ways not to do it. Now it can be your turn. This fun science kit is designed to excite and engage experimenters of all ages in re-creating the development of the first light bulb. Build your own working Edison bulb using the included safety vacuum chamber and a number of different filament materials, including carbon and tungsten.

  188. When I was a kid I thought Eddie Murphy was funny.   When he came out with that music album, the one with “party all the time” on it, I thought he was ridiculously funny. Then I learned that the album wasn’t supposed to be a comedy album and after that whenever I saw him in movies I would wonder if he was trying to be funny or it was just working out that way, like the album.  The magic was simply gone for me.   Now I wonder if it was indeed supposed to be comedy, including the assertion that it was a music album, and he was just 20 years ahead of the “being ironic” comedy thing.   And that’s why I need to win this light bulb kit.
