Welcome to the home of GeekZino, a low-cost Arduino-compatible microcontroller board which you can build yourself either on breadboard or soldered stripboard. The GeekZino owes its existence to the Shrimp by Cefn Hoile which first sowed the seeds in my mind for building an ecosystem around and educational microcontroller system.
The GeekZino is one of the core components (along with the Arduino, Raspberry Pi and Lego Mindstorns kits) of the GeekZine Project which will have three phases:
The first phase is the production of GeekZine, an online e-zine with educational information and tutorials about using the GeekZino, Arduino, Raspberry Pi and Lego Mindstorms kits for physical computing projects. A preliminary draft version of GeekZine is available for download here.
The second phase will involve making component kits available which provide all the parts needed for each GeekZine project at barely more than cost prices (subject to demand).
The third phase will be the organisation and running of educational clubs and courses for kids, hobbyists and teachers.
