MacGyverisms World

What can you do with all of that random junk lying around your home? Turn it into something useful! In the MacGyverisms World, you'll learn how to make use of those odds and ends. Christian Miller and the community share their favorite MacGyver-friendly hacks and crafts, including a fan grille plant hanger, toilet-paper tissue dispenser, tear-free bath cup, and a light bulb changer.

Secret Tips from the Yumiverse

Everything has more uses other than its intended one, and last week, Yumi was out to prove it. Click on the images below (or hit up the links underneath) to see some ingenious and unexpected ideas for using salt, upcycling glass, and applying nail polish.

Have an idea for an article you'd like to see Yumi illustrate? Share your ideas in Secret Tips from the Yumiverse! You can even illustrate your own how-to guides!

Minecraft World

This week's main Minecraft Challenge will drive you crazy! Literally. Because it's all about building the biggest and baddest vehicle. Think you've got the coolest design? Submit and you could win some server perks. Challenge ends on July 15th.

Working with one piston in Minecraft is hard enough, let alone four or five in combination. It can be painstakingly difficult and confusing. But only if you don't have the proper guidance. Join this week's Minecraft Workshop on Saturday, July 14th at 12pm PST to learn how to use multiple pistons in one device, along with ABBA switches and edge triggers. Click here for the full details.

Austin Sirkin and the rest of the community in Minecraft World have been pumping out the tutorials, too! Check them all out in the links below.

Have a tutorial you'd like to share? Maybe just a screenshot of one of your coolest builds? Share in Minecraft World!

Mad Science World

Last week in Mad Science, William was "backwards" crazy. His first article focused on the basics of robotics and making your bots go backwards, while his second showed how to build a reverse geocache box.

Got some Arduino skills? Know of any super secret chemistry projects? Share them with the rest of the Mad Science community. We need more Mad Scientists!

The King of Random is back with another sun-powered tutorial, this time showing us how to start a fire using some paper, a full plastic water bottle, and of course... the sun!
