Josh Walden, senior vice president and general manager of Intel's New Technology Group said: "Empowering budding entrepreneurs and young students has always been a priority for Intel, and by partnering with Arduino, we are bringing the power of Intel to a new generation of makers."
Genuino 101 can also be used to prototype technology-based products that connect and compute. It is said to be priced comparably to entry-level microcontroller boards and features an accelerometer, gyroscope and Bluetooth Smart connectivity.
The board joins Arduino's open-source electronics platform, which combines freely available hardware designs, an ecosystem of third-party extension components, and a software programming environment for designers to create interactive projects.
Massimo Banzi, co-founder and CEO, Arduino, said: "Through our work with Intel, we're able to reach a global community of entry-level makers and students with a comprehensive introduction to physical computing and now with a more advanced, powerful technology solution that will help them bring their creative visions to reality."
