Field notes

The homepage describes a process that begins with a drawing, question or specific request, then pairs crayons and cardboard with tools such as microcontrollers, 3D printers and code. It assigns the child real jobs and leaves soldering to the father. The visible project list includes a Raspberry Pi-and-relay wand, a CyberBrick RC bulldozer and a plane-themed birthday; topic links include electronics, parties and 3D printing.
