SparkFun Education's National Tour traveled from Virginia, down through Florida, up to Nebraska, back down to Arkansas and then home to Colorado, teaching microcontroller technology all the while. Mini Coopers, Open Source Hardware, LEDs, John B., flamethrowers and balance bikes.... Oh my!

SparkFun National Tour heads to Oklahoma to put on five workshops with the Oklahoma Museum Network, using Scratch and Pico Boards.
In January 2013, SparkFun education and engineering went to the Artisan's Asylum in Massachusetts to offer a large amount of support for their educational track. This post is all about the event and ancillary events we did on either side of the weekend while in the Boston area.

After our West Coast trip, the Department of Education rested up for a week and then headed out to Jefferson City, MO, to conduct a bunch of workshops and get some serious barbecue.

I always knew Nick has a good heart. Now the internet knows too, there is quantifiable data to prove it.

Hi Dan, We’re in RoboFest. See you there!

Animatronics and puppetry are so cool. I love all the intersections of education and techmology. Responsive electronics can cover a lot of ground. Kathryn is doing some really interesting stuff!

Yup. We’re aware of that. Just fixed it. Thanks for the heads up!

What if the hokey pokey is what it’s all about?

Here’s another option that is really similar but around half the price.

Hi Angelo, To clarify- Are you talking about the SIK Guide or the SIK Teacher Binder?
We would more than love to have your slides! In the spirit of Open Education we’d be honored to host them on Learn if you send them to education@sparkfun.com.
Thanks!

There’s Peebo- I’m not sure if he’s a cockatoo or a parrot. Although, I guess that’s the polar opposite of a cat.

I’m pretty pumped to be able to wander around, this will be my first Maker Faire that I’m not teaching at. Fitting that it is in the square state.

Hi CCody, You didn’t miss that post. I’m writing it today and will be posting it to learn in the near future, before I take off for another round of National Tour in a week. There were a lot of entries and it was really hard to pare it down…. I’m pretty psyched to figure out how to leverage all the good content you guys gave us with the rest of the Education Department.
