+
+A short description of the keyboard/project
+
+* Keyboard Maintainer: [Jose I. Martinez](https://github.com/mechanicalguy21)
+* Hardware Supported: This is a handwired keyboard created over a 3d printed case. 
+STL will be shared soon.
+* Hardware Availability: STL files will be shared soon.
+
+Make example for this keyboard (after setting up your build environment):
+
+    make handwired/novem:default
+
+See the [build environment setup](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/getting_started_build_tools) and the [make instructions](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/getting_started_make_guide) for more information. Brand new to QMK? Start with our [Complete Newbs Guide](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/newbs).
