But... with all that great open source hardware (and software) being demonstrated and handed out in goody bags, there's real value in attending in person (if you can). 😉

🔍 Hmm, which co-keynote speaker looks most like me? 😉 Happy to inspire and challenge educators to incorporate more 🤖 physical computing (🦾 hands on learning) in the state where I grew up. MN provided me with a great educational opportunity (many moons ago)! 🎓

Can’t wait to load up MicroBlocks firmware on it so I can give it a go! (Of course we’ll need our core devs to build such an image first…)
is fun! 🤩

Still hoping to leverage the depth and portability of hw coverage offered by Zephyr Project (to build low level firmware) with the ease of logical programming using MicroBlocks 🤞💪👍
