Project14 | Tales for Makers: Submit Stories to Include in an Upcoming Book!

tariq.ahmad

The theme this month is Tales for Makers and its in support of an upcoming book for balearicdynamics.   During our recently concluded challenge,   Better World with Arduino, Enrico began working on a book that will include stories that involve a fictional piece of technology.  The idea is to use story-telling to create a fictional world. The reader gets inspired by fictional technologies through short stories and is challenged to develop real-world projects using Arduino boards.  

Tales for Makers is a series of (at least) eight stories set in the BDTH6159 Amusement Park in Los Angeles.
