the barrier of entry and inspiring creativity for STEAM education.<br><br>"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.”<br><br>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.<br><br>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.<br><br>Bio:<br>Bin
