Anthony Horowitz
Series: Alex Rider Adventure # 8

Make Magazine now avaible at Chat Noir Books!!

I have had a subscription to Make Magazine for about a year now and been waiting for one of our magazine suppliers to pick up Make Magazine so that we could bring it into the store. Which I am happy to say we now have.

But what is make Magazine? Well I am happy you asked. Make Magazine is devoted entirely to DIY technology projects, MAKE Magazine unites, inspires and informs a growing community of resourceful people who undertake amazing projects in their backyards, basements, and garages.

The current issue of Make(which we have in the store!!) features Mythbusters' Adam Savage, on becoming the ultimate maker.


Volume 20: Make Vol. 20 features a season's worth of how-to projects that kids and their parents can build together, including a model rocket powered by hydrogen and oxygen extracted from water, a sleek wooden model sailboat, a laser light show built in a metal lunchbox, and a microscope based on the very first one ever built by Antony van Leeuwenhoek in the 17th century. If you're looking for a prize-winning science fair project, or just want to have fun, this special For Kids of All Ages issue of Make has something for you!
