What inspired you to make this project?
Students involved with our program work on a diverse range of projects. The most interesting one we are bringing is from a course last semester. Students created large letters to spell "MAGIC". They use LEDs for lights and the colors can be changed by booth visitors. We also plan to have a Magic Mirror, which is a DIY Raspberry Pi project to give you feedback with your reflection. In other words, we have a diverse range of interests powered on open source, and we want to share an alternate view that open source is more than only software.
