I’ve probably said it a million times, but I don’t think I’ve told you guys. You’re amazing. When it’s time for a new project I jump over to EMSL first. I use your projects to demonstrate a lot of STEAM principles at my Makerspace, and proudly wear my EMSL STEAM shirt every Saturday morning when I’m teaching our Makerspace Cadets class. (It’s a fun sciencey/makey/artsy class for kids). Keep up the great work. :)
Thank you for the kind words, and for your dedication to your students!
Thinking of S.T.E.A.M. as an engine to drive us into the Future have you heard that the Union Pacific Rail Road is restoring the 4014, one of the ‘Big Boy” class of engines. It may be 50-60-70 years behind the Arduino in Technology but an arduino will never cause a Gawkers’ Block on an Interstate. As a child I saw one of those giants running along side I-80 in Wyoming and miles of autos were crawling along at the speed of the machine, watching.
