Arrow Presents: Advanced Internet of Things Pack – Back to School with LadyAda: So maybe it’s not “back to school” season any more – but here at Adafruit, we like to think that it’s always a good time to learn something new, which we guess means that everywhere we go is a proverbial school that we’re perpetually going back to.
