Materials & Tools
Tokymaker
Learn to code your own prototypes using the simple visual coding interface and just one finger and program it without installing software or connecting cables. Understand the principles of operating system electronics connecting in the most intuitive way, a large variety of sensors and actuators.
1 meter Cable Wires
Cable wires are wires covered in a casing. The cable wires carry electrical currents.
Tilt Sensor
Tilt sensors and inclinometers generate an artificial horizon and measure angular tilt with respect to this horizon.
Cardboard
Heavy-duty paper with multiple layers to create durability, but also maintaining foldability. Cardboard usually made of a corrugated fiberboard sandwiched between two flat layers of paper.
Box Cutter
Also known as a retractable blade knife is a great tool to cut cardboard or paperboard.

Assembly Instructions
Step 1: Download and print the TokyBird templates.
Step 2: Cut out the shapes onto cardboard.
Step 3: Bend the Wings so that the cardboard has shape.
Step 4: Staple the WingFront and WingBack together.
Line the wings up before stapling. Make sure that you have a wing for your left and right hand. While stapling, keep testing that your hand still fits into the slot. If it doesn’t try to adjust and bend the cardboard so that it does.
Note: Do not staple all the way around and leave enough space for your hand to fit through and hold the wings.
Step 5: Assemble the TokyHolder.
Step 6: Slide the Tokymaker into the TokyHolder.
Step 7: Connect the sensors.
