We got a great little email on Sunday asking if our Vendy was available for public dispensing.

Come build and program an Arduino with expert guidance. You’ll build your own Freeduino kit and program it. Even if you’ve never soldered anything in your life, you’ll come away with a working micro controller that you built.
