Happy 307th Birthday, Benjamin Franklin!
Jan 17, 2013
By Robyn Weil

 

Benjamin Franklin's life and history is taught to every US grade school student.  With his famous electricity experiments with a kite, his inventions of bifocals and his daily schedule, Benjamin Franklin's legacy is still inspiring today.  If you're interested, you can find out more about his life and history from the links below.  I just want to share a quote from Benjamin Franklin that really resonates with the PSoC Creator team.

Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn. 

- Benjamin Franklin
