Overview

The Tape Contest is once again back by popular demand. As you may have guessed, this contest is open to any Instructable that uses adhesive tape at any point during the process.

In addition to those cool prizes, we have FIVE Makey Makey judges prizes for educators who include one of the following in the introduction of their Instructable:
  • A lesson plan related to the project
