This is away from the software, although they have little microcontrollers it works with, so we can get to the music and whatnot. But what they've done is they sell these kits that have copper tape, and you copper tape around, and you can make little buttons by having pieces of paper touch each other. You can make little sensors by having patterns of copper tape do different things.

They sell stickers that are LEDs, so you put your copper tape up to one side and your copper tape to the other, and then you put it to power and you have a little battery. Usually the clips, what are they called? What would you call a clip like this? Oops, nope, that's... Binder clip.

Put a binder clip with the battery and you make your own card like that. And it lights up or you can have it do music. They have all of these different neat sensors. And this is more on the electronic side. This is how people understand how do you go from battery through a circuit, right? And you don't need to know Ohm's Law and all of that, Kirchhoff's Laws. That's not that important for this.

That's not that important for this.

It's really about you follow the copper tape to the different pieces and you make neat lit things. And you can add a controller, which can then even add a little tiny motor, which can either vibrate or it can move like you do a paper engineering cutout of a butterfly and it will gently wag the wings. Yes, chibitronics. They're super fun. Chibitronics.

They were directed towards women at one point, getting girls interested in chibitronics. storytelling through electronics but i don't think they are as gender specific anymore because i've been seeing lots of their new sensors and new systems um being a little louder okay since we're here then i have to ask you i'll just say one one brand and i want a reaction from you alicia crunch labs nothing

I'm terrible.

I'm terrible.

Oh, I've seen this guy.

I don't, but I'm going to sign myself up. I love the little robots, and they had a crossbow. How do I get the crossbow?

Yes. And my field was so lucky to have Arduino because it really drew a lot of folks in. to be interested, both in electronics and embedded systems, but also in software. And there are Chibitronics and some of these other robotics kits. FIRST Robotics is just wonderful. That's the competition for middle and high school students. And what the kids learn is just

just want to hire all of the first robotics engineers. Because once they get into the robotics and they start understanding how the mechanical and electrical and software all work together to make the robot move, they get a systems understanding that's really hard to teach.
