Local Hacker Scout crew brings science and computer skills to kids



Forest Park metal artist and homeschooling mom, Elaine Luther, is no stranger to power tools. After all, she's got a 20-ton drill press and a blowtorch on her porch. But she's really excited about microprocessors.

"Basically an Arduino is this small circuit board doo-hickey that includes a computer chip and some places where you can connect things to it," she writes on a blog for parents of gifted children.

Even though Luther admits she doesn't have the technical vocabulary to explain computer programming and microprocessors, what she does have is organizing experience.
