Quotes

"We appreciate Bratney Companies' continued sponsorship of this event," Bignall said. "Their dedication to helping youth develop skills is advancing our next generation of leaders in the areas of science and technology, which ultimately impacts the future of our state."
"There are two LED's on the BrickPi for troubleshooting and to add style to your robot. There are three motor ports that also read encoder values, as well as four sensor ports that can read many of the MINDSTORMS sensors. Then you program your robot in Python to control the motors and sensors. With the assembled version, you can slip the board onto your Raspberry Pi, plug in your motors and sensors, and get started with no soldering or splicing."
...and India has emerged as one of the top contributors this year – 11 of these 90 finalists are Indian students aged between 13-14 years of age. "It was no easy task selecting these projects, but in the end their creativity, scientific merit and global relevance shined through. This year’s finalists projects range from using banana peels to produce bioplastics to research into a green treatment for contaminated water. Other projects include a study on the effects of video gaming on the cognitive function of the brain and the evaluation of wireless transmission of electricity" the post reads
Want to get involved? The BrickPi team adds: "We could really use your help!  We have our code and design up on Github here .  We could use some help developing better Python code for controlling the BrickPi as well as developing examples."
