Well, there's also another interesting thing.
還有另外一件有趣的事情。
I said the electronics are open-source,
就像我說的，所有的電子組件都是開源的，
because at the heart of this printer there is something I'm really attached to:
這臺機器的關(guān)鍵組件是我個人最為關(guān)心的，
these Arduino boards, the motherboard that sort of powers this printer,
Arduino主板，這臺打印機的核心部分，
is a project I've been working on for the past seven years.
這是我的一個項目，已經(jīng)開展七年了。
It's an open-source project. I worked with these friends of mine that I have here.
這是一個開源項目。我和這些朋友一起合作。
So the five of us, two Americans, two Italians and a Spaniard, we...
一共五個人，兩個美國人，兩個意大利人，一個西班牙人...
You know, it's a worldwide project.
這確實是一個全球項目。
So we came together in this design institute called the Interaction Design Institute Ivrea,
我們都在伊夫雷亞互動設(shè)計研究所工作，
which was teaching interaction design, this idea that you can take design from the simple shape of an object
這個研究所研究的是如何設(shè)計出形狀簡單
and you can move it forward to design the way you interact with things.
但能夠與人互動的設(shè)備。
Well, when you design an object that's supposed to interact with a human being,
這種設(shè)備能夠與人互動，
if you make a foam model of a mobile phone, it doesn't make any sense.
如果僅僅制作一個手機的泡沫模型，這沒什么意義。
You have to have something that actually interacts with people.
我們制作出來的東西要與人互動才有意義。
So, we worked on Arduino and a lot of other projects there to create platforms that would be simple for our students to use,
因此，我們開發(fā)了Arduino以及其他一些項目，這就給我們的學(xué)生建立了簡易的平臺，方便他們使用，
so that our students could just build things that worked,
讓他們有機會制作一些實用的東西，
but they don't have five years to become an electronics engineer. We have one month.
不過他們沒有五年的時間成為電子工程師，我們只有一個月時間。
So how do I make something that even a kid can use?
那么，如何制作一個孩子都能用的東西呢？
And actually, with Arduino, we have kids like Sylvia that you see here, that actually make projects with Arduino.
實際上，在Arduino的幫助下，像你看到的這個孩子，Sylvia，就能做出自己的東西。
I have 11-year-old kids stop me and show me stuff they built for Arduino
才11歲的孩子，就能用Arduino做東西，
that's really scary to see the capabilities that kids have when you give them the tools.
我感覺，一旦給了這些孩子工具，他們表現(xiàn)出來的能力真的讓人有些害怕。
