In my opinion one of the single coolest aspects of SparkFun is how Nate offers free classes and access to technology/tools for anyone who works for us. It’s not just an option. It’s highly encouraged. Combine that with the type of environment that allows for Sparks and you’ll understand why SparkFun is SparkFun. Sometimes you gotta break a couple eggs to… er… level up? Honestly, we’re more interested in people leveling up than making sure we corner the market in a proprietary manner. Like I posted to my personal Facebook account recently- “Let someone else define OpenSource Education. We’re too busy doing it.” Ditto for expanding current business models by thinking further, faster or just around the corner a little while still managing to be aware that we don’t know everything.
