SparkFun Is Proud to Work With Universities Everywhere
We believe electronics can change the world - from improved prosthetic arms, to interactive art exhibitions, to gloves that translate sign language into speech, the SparkFun community has a track record of creativity and inventiveness. We love to hear from our network of university partners with their latest innovations and research.
