Session 178-3 #123 Building an Online Platform for Broader Impact & Outreach

 In keeping with our opensource / DIY ethos, this project evolved entirely outside of institutional support & our traffic pattern is very different than that see by typical broader impact projects (ie those that actually have funding) . Perhaps most interesting is traffic from other countries, where our "hands on" tutorials see virtually no traffic from countries which access the web via mobile devices. Given that the Arduino can only be programmed via PC, this is likely inherent to the nature of the material rather than a bandwith/format issue.
