If SFS buys the gear for this prototyping workshop, who will help the kids play with the gear? (Ridgley and I will for sure. Who else?)
This will include:
- Helping to select the gear (probably need some sensors and servos, in addition to the SBC's)
- Finding or creating creative commons materials
- Promoting events
- Running events

This is a good time for a r3VOLution.
