[Noisebridge-discuss] brain-controlled robotics project

[Mario Landau Holdsworth]

Hi Steve,

I'm a teacher at Mission Science Workshop (www.missionscienceworkshop.org) I
would love it you would come in sometime to demonstrate your project to kids
from the elementary schools in the Mission.

Hope to see you soon!
