Learn to Make Cool Things With Microcontrollers
Even if you’ve never even sewn a button, you can learn to make cool things with microcontrollers. Microcontrollers can do so many things: turn off TVs in public places, trip out to your brain waves, move objects, play games—you can make microcontrollers do it all. It’s easy, it’s fun, it’s where it’s at!

The session started out a bit too basic “what is binary” – but I came back for the tail end and really enjoyed checking out the projects on display.
It has inspired me to want to take on more hardware projects of my own, and I did some shopping in the Maker Shed as a result!
