Description
In this 2-week camp, students will learn the basics of Arduino coding and how to use breadboard, LEDs, buttons, servos, speakers, and potentiometers to make exciting projects that light up, make sounds, and move.
The classes are taught using a blend of lecture, discussion and modeling. I demonstrate how to use a breadboard to build circuits, and how to write the code to control the Arduino microcontroller through an Arduino simulation program called TinkerCad. Students follow along on a TinkerCad Simulation or using an actual Arduino microcontroller and the Arduino IDE program. Through a series of small challenges, you will learn the basics of coding and wiring.
This class is for beginner coders. Students do not need to have any prior coding skills.
IMPORTANT: If you are using an actual Arduino, you will must have access to a computer with a USB port and not just a chromebook or tablet because the Arduino IDE does NOT work on those devices.
If you don't see a time that works for you, please contact me and I will try to schedule a class meets your needs.
