# Introduction > A learning and development board that delivers the performance and low-power consumption of the Intel® Curie™ Module with the simplicity of Arduino at an entry-level price. It keeps the same robust form factor and peripheral list of the UNO with the addition of onboard Bluetooth LE capabilities and a 6-axis accelerometer/gyro to help you easily expand your creativity into the connected world. [Arduino CC Homepage](https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoBoard101) > > The Brains Behind Your Next Invention. Building the next amazing thing just got easier. The Arduino 101 *board packs powerful features that make creating a cinch, even for beginner Makers. And while it sells at an entry-level price point (starting at USD 29.99), it’s built for creating complex projects that require plenty of firepower. The brain behind the board is the Intel® Curie™ module, a powerful button-sized computer that has a built-in 6-axis combo sensor, Bluetooth* Low Energy radio, and low power usage, making it the perfect board for building “always-on” projects like fitness monitors. The Arduino 101 board may be the most amazing board yet, for the most amazing creations yet. [Intel Homepage](http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/do-it-yourself/arduino-101.html) > > Unleashing a Low-Power Hardware Module for Wearable and Other Consumer and Industrial Edge Devices > > Intel and Arduino join forces to bring you a development platform as powerful as your imagination. The first widely available learning and development board based on the Intel® Curie™ Compute Module, the Arduino 101 board (branded Genuino 101 *outside the U.S.), delivers Intel performance at an entry-level price. Arduino 101* is optimized to help you build the next generation of wearable tech. It features: > > > * A 32-bit Intel® Quark™ microcontroller (for minimal power consumption) > > * An Intel® Curie™ module with 384 kB of flash memory (196 kB available to Arduino\* sketch) > > * 80 kb of SRAM (24 kB available for Arduino sketches) > > * An integrated DSP sensor hub > > * Bluetooth\* Low Energy radio > > * 6-axis combo sensor with accelerometer and gyroscope > > And with Arduino's open source hardware and software platforms, you'll be able to move from beginner to expert level in no time. * [Intel® Quark™ SOC Product Brief](http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/intelligent-systems/quark/quark-x1000-product-brief.html) * [Intel® Curie™ Wearables SOC](http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/wearables/wearable-soc.html) * [Intel® Curie™ Review](http://www.anandtech.com/show/8848/intel-announces-curie-tiny-module-for-wearables) * [Intel® Curie™ Power the Wearable Moment](http://iq.intel.com/intel-curie-powers-the-wearables-movement/) * [Intel® Curie™ Fact Sheet](http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/wearables/intel-curie-fact-sheet.html) * [Fun with the Arduino 101](https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/fun-with-the-arduino-101-genuino-101) * [Ardiri Internet of Things (IoT) Intel Arduino](http://ardiri.com/blog/intel_and_arduino_team_up_to_bring_arduino_101) * [Intel® Curie™ Module Datasheet](http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/boards-and-kits/000022330.html) * [Intel® Curie™ Module Design Guide](http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/boards-and-kits/000022331.html) * [Intel® Quark™ SE Microcontroller C1000 datasheet](http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/embedded/products/quark/mcu/se-soc/quark-c1000-datasheet.html) * [Intel® Curie™ Modules Support Page](http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/boards-and-kits/intel-curie-modules.html) * [Intel® Curie™ Module Developer Page](https://software.intel.com/en-us/iot/hardware/curie) * [Arduino 101 Board Schematics](https://www.arduino.cc/en/uploads/Main/Arduino101-REV4Schematic.pdf) * [Arduino 101 CAD Files](https://www.arduino.cc/en/uploads/Main/Arduino101RefDesign.zip) * tinyTILE Quick Start Guide * tinyTILE Board Schematics and CAD Files --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
