Thanks for the bookmark! > I never took an electronics or computer course in my life. Same! One of my favourite things about these fields is that you can take the time and learn everything you need to know just by looking at the internet

Sharing the first build log of our STEM toy startup: why we’re building it, the tech stack, what’s working, and what’s not. Looking for advice + ideas from this crowd.
