- 1. Its an arranged marriage The proud surrogate parents gave us some quiet time (not) so we get to know each other, hoping we get along, tinker playfully and build a meaningful relationship before taking the big leap (three, to be precise) Setting us on our way with a handful of instructions of do’s and don’ts they did say if I play my codes right I can make her do anything I want ! Here I am almost 5 weeks into a whirlwind relationship and people have asked me questions like “Whats that?” Scrambling because I still didn’t know enough to give a satisfactory response, I began digging up all I could Find to make sense of this relationship; Strange & exciting times and get to know my arduino a little bit better
- 3. of micros andacorns The year is 1981 and the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) is all set to launch a massive computer literacy project that included a TV show “The Computer Programme” and the production of an accompanying machine called the “BBC MICRO” developed by ACORN for the BBC
- 4. BBC MICRO-What Born: 1981 Place:United Kingdom Creators: BBC & Acorn Price: The 32 bit RAM MICRO was priced at £399 Units sold: Acorn expected to sell 12,000 units and ended up selling a whopping 1.5 million units worldwide Purpose: The purpose of the MICRO was not just programming but also graphics, controlling peripheral devices, sound and vision and Artificial Intelligence it was
- 5. BBC MICRO-What it did... “TheBBC Computer Literacy Project became one of the most successful computer literacy projects in history” BBC Micro was an excellent tool to introduce young people to programming The widespread availability of BBC BASIC led to the creation of a cottage industry to provide software for the computer Many of the ‘companies’ that were formed were started by young people who would later go on to establish the UK gaming industry as the third strongest in the world
- 7. “I started codinggames at home when I was 11 years old There was an explosion of creativity, most of it coming from self-taught young men like us working at home” David Darling CBE is the co-founder of Codemasters and now runs Kwalee, a smartphone game developer.
- 8. ! ! ! “It was theBBC Micro that had the impact - mainly because of its spread throughout UK schools I hope machines like the Raspberry Pi can go on to do something similar for today's kids! It was so easy to learn on, to the extent just about everyone could write the program like this without even realising they were learning: 10 PRINT "Fred smells of wee" 20 GOTO 10” David Braben is chairman and founder of Frontier Developments, and a co-founding trustee of the charity The Raspberry Pi Foundation which plans to sell an ultra-low-cost computer.
- 9. “Because of itsexpandability and capability, it was probably responsible for more small start-up companies than any other computer of its time A huge number of companies started designing, manufacturing and selling third-party add-ons from bedrooms and garages across the country. I was one of them. I created a simple little memory expansion and sold a few via the classified ads” Jason Fitzpatrick is the Chairman and Chief Geek at the Centre for Computing History near Cambridge. He also runs a technical props company for the film and TV industry.
- 10. “It captured theimagination of a generation of programmers A great community grew up, with magazines such as Beebug, and user groups across the UK The community encouraged experimentation and sharing: almost everyone was figuring out computers for the first time, so there was a strong sense of learning together. Tips and techniques were shared as people discovered all the things you could do” Dan Crow is chief technology officer at the tour date tracking service Songkick. He previously worked at Apple and Google
- 12. -What Born: 2005 Place: InteractionDesign Institute at Ivrea, Italy Creators: Massimo Banzi, David Cuartielles, David Mellis Origin of the name: Inspired by a bar in Italy “Bar Di Re Arduino”, originally a boys name in Italian meaning “brave friend” Price: $30 Units sold: Approx 250,000 Purpose: Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It’s intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments it is

- 16. A 12-Year-Old's QuestTo Remake Education, One Arduino At A Time Twelve-year-old electronics prodigy Quin Etnyre wanted to make education more fun. So he became a teacher. Quin Etnyre, Inventor A shining star in the next generation of “makers” Enjoyed soldering circuit boards at Maker Faire Bay Area and started ordering components online and taught himself how to code Teaches Arduino coding and programming Launched his company Qtechknow in 2012. Struck a deal with SparkFun which now sells his product the “Qtechknow ArduSensors Kit” with tutorials written by Quin
- 17. FUZZ BOT: Quinstarted with a robot chassis kit for Arduino that he received last Christmas. "And then one morning, I decided to hook up a Parallax Ping sensor so that it could avoid obstacles," he says. "From then on, I worked on the code and perfected it." Quin also added extra functionality; the FuzzBot can clean floors. Now he's working on a wireless controller Quin also developed the “Gas Cap” or what he likes to call “a fart sensor”. A cap with LEDs that blinks when it detects Methane
- 18. Sylvia Todd Age 12 Inventor Hasher own YouTube Channel “Super Awesome Mini Maker Show” which has over 1.5 million views views with over 20 episodes featuring beginner level projects for kids Her projects have included a pendant which measures your heartbeat & waterColorBot; a robot that paints with water colors
- 19. Sylvia’s Super AwesomeMini Maker Show
- 20. Arduino for Disabilities InJuly 2011, 5 Art & Design students from the University of Arts in Philadelphia were paired with 5 people with disabilities in an attempt at collaborative design The purpose explore how controllers people with was to microcan empower disabilities
- 21. Michael loves photography a kneeactuated switch (so Michael can steer the wheelchair with his hands) allows him to take photographs when a servo motor is activated within the mount and clicks for him while he is on the move
- 22. Google to PutArduino, Raspberry Pi Computers in U.K. Classrooms ! Google chairman Eric Schmidt announced that Google would help pay for 100 new science teachers and equip classrooms with Arduino kits and Raspberry Pi microcomputers. “The success of the BBC Micro in the 1980s shows what’s possible. There’s no reason why Raspberry Pi shouldn’t have the same impact, with the right support” Mr Schmidt said
- 23. a revolution isin progress and we are a part of it
- 24. in the enda moment of deceased BBC (it played its part but because it was neglected silence for the MICRO failed to evolve by its creators)
- 25. and a prayer that may my arduino and I live happily ever after
