My 9 year old daughter built and entered a "Musical Sprinkler" in our local Berrien County Youth Fair this week and got Grand Champion.  The unit is based on a Lynx MR16 board (thanks RJ) that she completely assembled and soldered herself.  This is controlling 7 12v water valves from Ebay.  I taught her LOR to sequence it to music.  I told her after the fair I have a pile of boards to assemble!  She is very interested in doing some sequencing for Christmas this year!

Wow - that's really cool - my kids just roll their eyes or shrug their shoulders at me when I discuss blinky-flashy with them...
