A tangible sign that the movement makers, from curious phenomenon and niche, has turned into a reality in a position to attract the attention of major international players.
Intel Corporation and the founders of Arduino, announced the upcoming launch of Arduino 101 (for the US) and Genuine 101 (outside the US), a development board, ideal for learning, for the maker beginners and learning environments.
The heart of the board is the small chip Curie Intel , presented at ces 2015: the new card is addressed to the schools and students who want learn all about the world of the Maker.
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 to third-party extensions and a software programming environment that makes it easy for anyone to create interactive projects .
“We have worked closely with Intel to the development of this board and we are expanding our education program to incorporate the connectivity and advanced features expected by students and developers, “said Massimo Banzi , cofounder and CEO of Arduino .cc. As for the form Curie is a SoC Intel Quark SE 32-bit 384 kb flash memory, sensor integrated DSP and six-axis sensor.
We will find Genuine 101 in CTC, Creative Technology in the Classroom, the program of physical computing developed by Arduino and now used in over 300 schools in the world.
Perfect harmony on the formation, as pointed out Joshua Walden: “ Intel works closely with Arduino to bring the CTC program in schools around the world in the coming years” .
The card will be sold in the first quarter of 2016 at a price equivalent to that of the data entry on the market today, $ 30 or 27 euro .
And to see first hand the association between the maker and the giant California, just take a trip to the stand Intel Maker Faire: in addition to numerous projects with processors Intel , Galileo and Edison, you can see and vote on drafts participants Make.it, an initiative developed in collaboration with FabLab Milan, which saw the participation of makers attending the FabLab of eight cities: Turin, Verona, Reggio Emilia, Rome , Palermo, Parma, Bologna and Biella.
