Outreach

A large number of applications require computer programming expertise. Students who are able to handle complicated mathematical and scientific concepts often lack basic programming abilities. This is especially true in some parts of Europe, where programmers are sort after for a range of different projects.

A full range of computer programming and interfacing skills can be developed by implementing projects that couple together several concepts to achieve a goal. This may include from robotics to running a web server on a private Intranet. Such experimentation is not normally permitted with school computers or general purpose home computers. It can also be costly to purchase expansion boards, required for additional input/output functionality.
