The document summarizes the history and impact of Arduino, an open-source hardware and software company for electronics prototyping. It describes how Arduino was founded in 2005 in Italy by Massimo Banzi and others. It has since grown to include contributors from around the world and universities on every continent using Arduino in their curriculum. Major tech companies also use Arduino for prototyping. The open and collaborative nature of Arduino has led to many derivatives and a large global community of makers and developers.
