This is something that seems to be gaining alot of attention. I learned about it on an AP Computer Science listserv that I follow.
Phidgets are a set of a bunch of sensors, motors and other electronic devices that can easily be connected and programmed via a USB connection.
I’ve got a starter kit on order from the company. We’ll see if I can come up with something interested to teach my compsci students.
Bonus: It’s a Canadian-based company!
