Overview

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to create a spy project worthy of Bond, Bourne, or Powers. Intelligence-gathering, countersurveillance, dead drops, disguises, and all the other tools of tradecraft are fair game.

Share your fun and playful take on this theme with an Instructable and you could win clandestine prizes like night vision goggles or a surreptitious camera. Whether it's a Bluetooth glove communication device, a remote-controlled video drone, a sneaky way to hide your smartphone on the bus, or a definitive shaken-not-stirred martini, get started today.
