I absolutely love this video posted by Jessica Wolpert. It's (3) eleven-year-old girls working on an Arduino project. It looks like the final project is a "mouse alert system" that blinks the eyes of the cat when the mouse gets too close. I am so happy to see kids experimenting with electronics and micro-controllers. Are you working with kids on any electronics projects? If so, please post them in the comments so we can write about it! Thanks!

I am working with my 17 year old son to build the Beat Bearing sequencer. It's an interesting project for both of us, and he tells me that his friends think I am the coolest dad. We'll reserve judgement on that until after we have successfully built this thing.
But buying 50 pinballs together was fun!
