This neat little device is an open source handheld game device you can build yourself (it’s fully DIY). Besides that, MAKERbuino is also an educational device shaped like a game console. It comes in a kit form (not assembled) - you get a box with all the electronic components necessary for building your own portable game machine. To build your own MAKERbuino the only things you'll need are some basic tools and an interest in technology. MAKERbuino is an educational device disguised in the shape of a game console. Its purpose: to motivate people to explore, learn and create something new in a fun and interesting way. Forget the newest iPhone or the latest PlayStation, you will be the main hipster around after you show this one to your friends - a game console you've built and customized yourself! OK, it has a low-res screen and 2kB of RAM but you've made it with your own two hands, it's unique, it's retro, it's cool.
