This is REALLY cool! At first I didn't know exactly what this was, but after some research, I discovered it is hardware (and software) where you can design and program your own little "machines"!

From the insert: "ARDUINO IS AN OPEN-SOURCE ELECTRONICS PROTOTYPING PLATFORM BASED ON FLEXIBLE, EASY-TO-USE HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE. IT'S INTENDED FOR ARTISTS, DESIGNERS, HOBBYISTS AND ANYONE INTERESTED IN CREATING INTERACTIVE OBJECTS OR ENVIRONMENTS."

I've already started an online course to learn how to do all this, and I'm real excited as it's something I've always wanted to learn more about.

Perfect Gift!

Thanks!
