Embedded
I am Elecia White alongside Christopher White. We’re here to chat about the interests, careers, and lives of engineers, artists, educators and makers. Our diverse guest list includes names you may have heard and engineers working quietly in the trenches. Either way, they are knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and inspiring.
We’d love to share our enthusiasm for science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM).

1: Start Tinkering
Featuring Elecia "El" White (@logicalelegance), Jen Costillo (@rebelbot @r0b0ts0nf1r3), and Star Simpson (@starsandrobots). This show was recorded at DesignWest, the embedded systems conference. Board and parts vendors: Sparkfun and Adafruit (both have great tutorials) Getting started boards Arduino (and AVRFreaks) and Raspberry Pi Light things up with ThingM Find components (and datasheets) at Digikey. And Mouser, Future (Octopart). Avoid Alibaba.com. Amazon has a wide range of electronics tools at generally ok prices. For sharing: Make Magazine (ideas in writing), Github (software) Open Design Engine (hardware)
