Hi all,

Reminder that we have an SGVLUG meeting this Thursday.  Cross-posted to SGVHAK.

It'll be in the same venue we used for the SGVTech Open House, which is in the conference facility behind the Urban Plates.  There is a parking structure entrance on Del Mar.  We can validate parking.

TIME: Thursday, Dec 13th, from 7pm to 9pm
LOCATION:Corporate Center Pasadena Conference Facility, 238 S Lake Ave, Pasadena, CATOPIC: Everyone is an Inventor
SPEAKER: Bin Feng, Microduino

 Bin Feng, the co-founder and CEO of Microduino, will talk about lowering the barrier of entry and inspiring creativity for STEAM education.

"I was monitoring a server room’s temperature, but getting tired of going to the room every, single, time. I used Arduino to create a device that would do the job for me. However, it involved messy wiring, dangerous soldering, and complicated coding. And so an idea was born. I wanted to create something that anyone could use to imagine a product and immediately just build it. The very first set of Microduino modules was designed to lower the barriers to creativity for everyone. We’re giving people the freedom to give shape to their ideas.”

The company creates the world’s smallest Arduino-compatible smart modules. These modules are flexible, stackable and powerful, and can be used to create a limitless amount of DIY projects for all ages.

To date, Bin has raised over $500,000 across four Microduino crowdfunding projects and built up Microduino’s community from 0 to 1,000,000+ members and students. Bin is dedicated to making Microduino a significant international success by creating an educational platform that fits seamlessly into the global STEM/STEAM education discipline.
