Microduino
Microduino is aimed at bringing easy-to-use electronic hardware to makers, designers, engineers, students, and curious tinkerers of all ages and levels.

Blurring the Digital with Physical Play
Mattel will be bringing a novel Hot Wheels playset that had been modified to blur the line between digital and physical play. Makers will show you how to do it and the process that it took to make things flow naturally. Mattel will also be showcasing a Fisher Price Power Wheels Jeep customized for kids with disabilities, bringing the power of play and mobility to kids that have been hospitalized.
