Don't let your kids fritter away their summer on mindless activities; it's time for some educational fun (emphasis on fun, of course), This week we're giving away Piper, a DIY electronics kit that helps teach kids engineering skills through the popular game Minecraft.

Piper first lets users build their own computer, and then a Minecraft adventure game teaches them programming. The kit helps children from kindergarten through 12th grade explore coding and electronics (safely, no soldering required) using wires, lights, switches, sensors and their very own Raspberry Pi 3.

So how do you win a Piper worth $299 to give some kids you know a hands-on boost in their STEM education? Please read the below rules carefully.
