4. Why I chose to do this presentation?
   • Arduino
   • Language: C
   • Electronics knowledge required.
   • No UI (Not a deal breaker).
   • Daughters (2 Units)
   • Encourage them to learn about STEM.
   • Language: Python, Scratch.
   • Little or no electronic knowledge required.
   • Raspberry Pi ecosystem is more rich and better supported (IMHO).
   • UI (Raspbian OS)
