Trilife kits at Kentucky Science Center YSS2013
These kits were soldered together by High School Students who had never soldered before! All but 2 or 3 worked out of the box.
These kits contain an LED, a PIC processor, and act as a real-world cellular automaton. The more kits added, the cooler it gets!
