Description
Created by MIT affiliates: "The catchphrase is physical computing; computers interacting with the real world, in real time.
LeafLabs was founded on the premise that science should not be confined to expensive labs filled with shiny equipment, but found on cluttered workbenches in musty basements everywhere. We're dedicated to bringing the latest in computer science and electrical engineering to non experts in an easily accessible form. We want advanced topics in Machine Learning and computational techniques integrated into the most mundane of projects; we want kids to be excited to make their own electronic gadgets; we want everyone to be a hacker."
