Genuine 101, the board created by the collaboration of Intel and Arduino – TecnoAndroid

 

Intel and Arduino together for the first time in history have presented a card to the built-maker with a new curriculum for all high school students. A card that will support all new programmers and scuole.18

At the Maker Faire Rome, Intel Corporation, along with the founders of the Arduino, has announced the upcoming release of Arduino 101 (US) and Genuine 101 (outside the US), a development board, ideal for learning , the maker beginners and learning environments. Genuine 101 is the first development board based on the widely available form Intel CurieTM component low consumption of small dimensions.

In addition to being easy to use and well suited for activities basic learning, Genuine 101 It can be used to prototype technology products that connect and process data thanks to the powerful features of the module Intel Curie. The card will be sold at a price equivalent to that of the entry level cards available today and is equipped with an accelerometer, a gyroscope and Bluetooth Smart to allow the development of smart, connected devices.

Key Points:

• Genuine 101 is the first development board based on the widely available form Intel Curie, low component consumption by small size, announced by Intel at the CES 2015.
• Cost-effective and easy to use, Genuine 101 is ideal for educational environments, the makers and developers.
• Integrated into the curriculum of physical computing Arduino, Genuine 101 is designed to develop the technological skills of the students.

The card becomes part of the series of electronic platforms open-source Arduino, which combines hardware designs freely available online, a broad ecosystem of components for third-party extensions and a software programming environment that makes it easy for anyone to create interactive projects.

“Creating opportunities for young entrepreneurs and students has always been a priority for Intel and, through collaboration Arduino, we are providing all the power to a new generation of Intel-makers, “said Josh Walden, Senior Vice President and General Manager of New Technology Group, Intel. “Thanks to the advanced features of the module built into the Genuine Intel Curie 101, students and developers can now create creations truly unique, intelligent and connected.”

The board based on Intel Curie will also be the instrument of prototyping used by competitors of America’s Greatest Makers, a new competition in the form of reality show that will be broadcast in 2016 by TV Turner Broadcasting and digital platforms.

Genuine 101 class

Genuine 101 will be built-in Creative Technologies in the Classroom (CTC), physical computing program developed and tested by Arduino and currently implemented in over 300 schools. The CTC is the first course of physical computing in the world for high school, and gives teachers the tools, the support and the confidence necessary to give students an introduction to programming, electronics and mechanics. Intel is working closely with the Arduino to bring the CTC program in schools around the world in the coming years. Once introduced in the classroom, Genuine 101 will form a new generation of professionals, entrepreneurs and inventors in the field of technology.

“ We have worked closely with Intel to develop this board and we are expanding our program learning to incorporate connectivity and advanced features expected from students developers today, “ said Massimo Banzi, co-founder and CEO of Arduino.cc. ” Through our work with Intel, we are able to reach a global community of makers and entry-level students with a comprehensive introduction to the physical computing and now offer a powerful and most advanced technological solution that will help them make real their creative visions . “

Genuine 101 will be available in the first quarter of 2016 at a suggested resale price of $ 30 (about 27 Euros). The card produced by Intel will be sold in the United States under the brand Arduino 101 and in other countries under the brand Genuine 101.
