Think globally, build locally: A technological platform for low-cost, open-source, locally-assembled programmable bricks for education
"Programmable bricks" are microcontroller-based devices that can be used in various educational projects, such as robotic prototypes, environmental sensing, and interactive art. They have been used in educational settings for many years, but particularly in developing countries their penet...
