Senior Project / Lab Equipment

Do you need to learn how to use a piece of equipment in a TECH Lab?

Do you know what you want to do for senior projects but don't have the equipment or money to buy it?

Do you have an idea for a software FOS project, but need "big data" to do it?

I have acquired many items (manuals, sensors, devices, boards) and database links over the years that can be used for TECH senior projects.
