As a CS major in college, circuits felt so intimidating (hardware! resistors! voltages?!) I feel like I need this even now! ;) Would've loved to have this as a kid!
This is super cool! The cs person in me thinks hardware is so freaking awesome (as I usually live in software) and I love how this makes hardware accessible for people who are young and new to everything. Rock on guys!!!
My Friends @joshchan & @tarunpondicherr made this while I was working out of StartX! I actually helped out at a Tech Learning Day for kids and I saw all the kids actually LEARNING and interested about circuitry and engineering. I was getting teary eyed because I was so happy.
I remember growing up in rural Idaho where I didn't have these resources or these tech learning days and I had to create my own. I'm lucky I had parents who were engineers but that's not the case with most families. I really see these kits being as or more successful than Kano Kits.
I know this may be cheesy to say, but I think LightUp will inspire a generation of engineers and we'll finally make that Iron Man suit!
I hope you support them, I did! They're awesome people with an awesome vision.
