Some of you may know the history of this site, which began with a project I did back in 2007 with my kids to try to get a Lego Mindstorms robotics kit to fly a plane (it worked). That was part of a series of science/tech projects I did with the kids, and the search for other good ideas led to the site GeekDad, which is now part of the Wired empire and has spawned three books, including a New York Times bestseller.

Now the GeekDad/DIY Drones connection has come full circle, with a GeekDad community site, based on the same Ning platform as we're using here at DIY Drones. If you've got kids, this is well worth joining. Plus note the cute little-kid-flying-a-quadcopter we put in the header graphic above!
