Open Source Projects

The Owl and Oregon boards are designed for STEM engagement of middle school and high school students.

We use the board at community colleges, high schools, and at various school camps and activities including Hour of Code and Girls Got STEM. Students learn the basics of soldering, circuit components, and programming.
