Hi folks,

Anyone out there actively using these things? Either in class or makerspace or co/curricular?

We have a class set of Ardunio Esplorers and a handful of Unos. I was going to build out the set of Uno boards, but seeing code.org<http://code.org> is using Adafruit, am tempted to switch horses.

I’m finding it hard to get decent Arduino projects for the short burst of time I have with the year 8s. Got any?

Also, Microsoft has new stuff for microprocessor boards too: https://makecode.com/ (micro:bit, Adafruit)

Cheers, Mel
