[lug] Scratch Sensor Board [Re: BLUG Meeting Announcement 2010-04-08]

[Neal McBurnett]

The Arduino meeting was great - including 3 giveaways by the nice
folks from Sparkfun!  Thanks folks.

I asked about the Sensor Board which plugs into systems running
Scratch (which is a free development environment for kids and adults
that runs on the OLPC, Windows, etc.  Here is a pointer to more info.

I love these options for interacting with the real world and doing
physical computing.
