Today we debut a new monthly video series: Projects with Ryan Slaugh. Each new episode will air on the first Tuesday of the month. The series aims to help people with their own projects by giving them ideas, techniques, and inspiration. While most projects will be electronics related, many built around Arduino and Raspberry Pi, some projects will offer insight on using specialized tools and working with different materials.

In his first video, Ryan will show us how to make an Arduino-powered, Pelican case-based mobile prototyping platform for writing code, arranging tools, and all around making.
