    This is my favorite science live video so far this year 🙂
    Loved learning about the Dart mission and how we could see the moonlet up close, and the Protoges sneakily referencing the Clue characters was so funny! XD

    I enjoyed learning about the Arduino and micro-controllers and since I like a good mystery, I enjoyed watching the proteges solve the case of the missing Arduino.

    One downside of microcontrollers is they cant run Operating systems such as linux or BSD but of Arduino’s products is the Uno Q which has a CPU (micro processor) and a microcontroller which is very useful ffor project that dont need a lot of power but need a OS like Linux
