Then I thought, why not take it to the next level with <strong>Windows IoT?</strong>  I could design a UI with the help of <a href="https://github.com/telerik/ui-for-uwp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the recently open-sourced</a> <strong>Telerik UI for UWP</strong> and also leverage a FEZ HAT&rsquo;s &amp; Raspberry Pi 3 to drive the motors, detect light levels and temperature.</p>
