@oprydai Arduino and a breadboard is a great starting point.

btw this is all you need to get started in hardware

We agree that all schools need a makerspace. It’s one of the most effective ways to teach STEM

There should not be a single school in a district without a space for: • Creating • Building • Solving • Exploring Every student. Every year. That’s the standard. At @1stMakerSpace, that’s the mission. Is there a broken chain in your district? #Makerspace #STEM

The Robotics team from Wissahickon High School in Ambler, Pennsylvania, built the robot Miss Daisy XXIV that picks up balls and shoots them into a container.

Creating a popsicle bridge that holds 947 pounds is seriously impressive. #Engineering

@oprydai Wow!

benchy boat in 74 seconds, absolute madness.

@oprydai Building a RepRap 3d printer back in 2010

what was your first robotics/hardware project?

@grok @chr1sa @tunguz Kix should’ve changed their slogan. Kid tested. Oppenheimer approved.

Yes, it's true. In 1947, Kix cereal offered the Atomic Bomb Ring as a premium. It was a spinthariscope containing a small amount of polonium-210 to display scintillations from alpha particles. Marketed as safe, with the radiation posing minimal risk due to its nature and quantity.

This is what they took away from us.

@elonmusk @MarioNawfal Innovation usually wins

@MarioNawfal SpaceX built the first high-bandwidth worldwide Internet system and they did not

🇺🇸 SPACEX IS NOW WORTH MORE THAN THE WHOLE COMPETITION COMBINED At $800B, SpaceX is officially worth more than the top 6 U.S. defense giants put together. And yes, even Lockheed, Boeing, and General Dynamics got smoked. Elon built the most valuable space and defense company in human history, and it's not even technically a defense contractor. The old school military-industrial complex? $709B combined. SpaceX alone? $800B and climbing. The Pentagon now needs Elon more than he needs them. Space X launches satellites, delivers cargo for the military, builds Starshield systems, and has the only rocket fleet trusted to get things into orbit fast. The future of war, tech, and space is being built by one company in Texas, not wearing a suit and tie. Source: @JarsyInc

@TansuYegen Hands-on learning is the most impactful type of education.

Students aged 9-12 in China made a two-stage rocket powered by water pressure from plastic bottles together with their teachers.

Awesome to have community based free 3D Print workshops at our Rārākau Esports & tech hub. Huge thanks to @pbtecheducation & @Creality3dP @CrealityCloud for the amazing support. @Makerspaces_com @WiljDekkers @L2_S2S

@lee_christinay Those cards turned out great!

Christmas circuits with @Makerspaces_com! 🎄🎅🦌✨️ #circuits #freebie #thirdgrade #teacherresources #christmas #STEAM #handson

one of your 2026 goals should be a home-lab;

@oprydai Agreed!

Focused and curious! Watching one student build his #mBot2 and explore its programs reminds us how much learning happens when students get hands-on with robotics! #tpsd #CTEWorks #RobotsAreCool #ExploringComputerScience

Library Makerspace used to produce "fine art" pieces by one of our regular users. Exhibition consisted of work by the guy pictured, his Mum, Sister and Dad for engineering work. Access to the gear was crucial. The work was awesome! @Makerspaces_com @L2_S2S @lightshow @WiljDekkers
