Arduino - an open source microcontroller that was designed by Massimo Banzi
Actually, it is one of the most important inventions of the past 10 years. It’s really all about inputs and outputs... Arduino is open-sourcing imagination.

Getting Started with Arduino.
Make, a website with lots of nice how-to’s on Arduino.
Snakes and Ladders is cool! It has simple rules. The point is to reach square “100”. Each player starts on square one, rolls the dice, and moves accordingly. If you land on a square where a ladders lays, you crawl up to a higher position on the board. If you land on a square where lays the head of a snake, you slide down his back to a previous position, and you just might go “back to square one.” It originated in India where it is called “Moksha Patam.” Based on Hindu concepts, it pushes forward the idea that if you are “good” and virtuous you will progress through reincarnation to a better form of life after this one has ended. On the other hand, if you are “bad” and evil it makes this journey very difficult. The goal is to reach Nirvana, here square 100. The game puts an emphasis on the power of karma. On the board the ladders represent virtues such as generosity, faith, and humility, while the snakes represent vices such as
lust, anger, murder, and theft. (From the Course letter)
