Mark Geddes is a lifelong tinkerer and gadget enthusiast. Frustrated with the lack of practical, visual guides to help him teach his 10-year-old how to build with Arduino, he set out to record his own experiments, and The Arduino Project Handbook is the result. Geddes has a bachelor’s degree from Edinburgh College of Art. He lives in Scotland.
