This week is a pure Giveaway, with two simple requirements. But, first, the prize.

ENTER TO WIN

From Inventables, a hardware store for superheroes and hackers, the Powerless Illuminating Tubing Kit.

This innovative material consists of a glow-in-the-dark substance housed inside solid tubing. It's flexible, UV-resistant, and can be easily cut into different sized pieces. With only 5 minutes of direct sunlight, the tubing can glow for anywhere from 8 to 20 hours! The kit comes in 3 different colors (arctic blue, spring green & lime), each piece 3-feet-long.

HERE'S WHAT YOU DO

1. Follow @WonderHowTo on Twitter -OR- Like us on Facebook.

2. Leave a comment describing what you would make with the material.
