DuinoKit Helps Teach Students About Electronics (Video)
This is something Timothy Lord ran across a few months ago at a Maker Faire near Atlanta: The DuinoKit. Think of it as a fancier (and pricier) version of the venerable Radio Shack Electronic Learning Labs and you won't be far off. Plus, as the name DuinoKit implies, it's based on an Arduino, which means that right off the bat it packs a lot more learning punch than the Radio Shack kit. DuinoKit was financed by a KickStarter campaign that asked for $19,500 and raised $57,478 from 250 backers. And for those of you who worry about being called nerds because you're carrying a DuinoKit around, you can relax. It comes in a 'Secret Agent Carrying Case.' Really. Read their What is the DuinoKit? Web page carefully and you'll see. (Alternate Video Link)
You're both wrong, real electronics is rubbing a cat against a glass rod.
We used to dream about having a cat.... we had to make do with a wadded-up dustball. But it were a cat to us.
A dustball? Luxury! We had to scrape our skin with Brillo pads for a week to collect enough dust for a whole ball.
That's what you get for self-hosting on a DuinoKit.
