Maker Faire: “Genuine 101″, to transform students ‘digital artisans’ – Imprint Unika

Presented at Maker Faire New Genuine electronic card 101, a collaboration between Intel Corporation and Arduino.cc. which aims to transform the students ‘digital craftsmen’. The card, the first in the world to integrate the new low-power chips “Curie” unveiled by Intel at CES 2015, has accelerometer, gyroscope and Bluetooth connectivity. It will be available from 2016 in 160 countries for the price of 27 €.

Controllable with smartphones and tablets, the board, explained Massimo Banzi, co-founder and CEO of Arduino.cc, it will be part of kits for schools to ‘Internal Design Creative Technologies in the Classroom (CTC), the courses already underway in 300 schools to introduce children in elementary and secondary schools in programming, electronics and mechanics. The card is useful for learning, for the maker beginners and learning environments.

In addition to being easy to use, Genuine 101 is perfect for prototyping technology products that connect and process data, through the power of the Intel module Curie. The card enhances the number of electronic platforms open-source Arduino and will benefit from a broad ecosystem of components and a programming environment software, which facilitates the creation of interactive projects.

“We will work together for two years – says Banzi, -. For us it is a great opportunity. Given the potential in the field of education, this partnership will allow us to rapidly grow the educational program of Physical Computing, Creative Technologies for the Classrooms (CTC), currently active in 300 schools around the world. The goal is to work with teachers and create a new class of trainers, able to propose a new way of teaching technology. “
