<p><b>SparkFun Electronics</b> (sometimes known by its abbreviation, <i><b>SFE</b></i>) is an <a href="Electronics" title="Electronics">electronics</a> <a href="Retailing" class="mw-redirect" title="Retailing">retailer</a> in <a href="Niwot%2C_Colorado" title="Niwot, Colorado">Niwot</a>, <a href="Colorado" title="Colorado">Colorado</a>, <a href="United_States" title="United States">United States</a>. It manufactures and sells <a href="Microcontroller" title="Microcontroller">microcontroller</a> development boards and <a href="Breakout_board" class="mw-redirect" title="Breakout board">breakout boards</a>.

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2></div>

<p>SparkFun Electronics was founded in 2003 by Nathan Seidle when he was a Junior at <a href="University_of_Colorado_Boulder" title="University of Colorado Boulder">University of Colorado Boulder</a>. Its first products were Olimex <a href="Printed_circuit_board" title="Printed circuit board">printed circuit boards</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The name 'SparkFun' came about because one of the founders of SparkFun was testing a development board, and sparks flew out; <i>Fun</i> was chosen because the company's self-stated aim is to educate people about electronics. In January 2011, an education department was formed to outreach to local schools, <a href="Hackerspace" title="Hackerspace">hackerspaces</a>, and events.

<p>The Autonomous Vehicle Challenge was a recurring contest held annually by SparkFun.
