We are Educators and Makers.

We need a class on building this.

I currently have a bunch of Arduino classes and I’m working another so I do not care to develop one on this.

This is your chance to develop a class that is guaranteed to fill a classroom many times. If you need help on the moving parts, I’m sure other Makers will volunteer.
