Happy Friday 😃 We figured we'd send you into the weekend with some light reading. This Field Guide to Industrial Automation and Control covers building, wiring, programming, and troubleshooting industrial control systems. By "light reading," we mean grab a coffee first and get comfy. ☕ -> dky.bz/3WI6ZU9

Brian Metelak from @digikey came by DFRobot and Mushroom Cloud Maker Space in Shanghai. At the makerspace, Shanghai Normal University students preparing to teach computer science were building with @UNIHIKER K10. The afternoon turned into a two-hour project sprint, and Brian shared a few words with the group. A few moments from the visit. Thanks for stopping by, Brian. #DFRobot #DigiKey #UNIHIKERK10 #MakerEducation #STEMEducation
