10AM - 8PM Eastern Time Zone.

 This class is taught on Outschool.

in this class students will learn the basics of Arduino coding and how to use buttons, servos, speakers, and potentiometers to make exciting projects that light up, make sounds, and move. Students are taught through a blend of lecture, discussion and modeling.  I demonstrate how to complete the wiring and coding through an Arduino simulation program called TinkerCad.  Students follow along using TinkerCad simulations or using an actual Arduino microcontroller plus the Arduino IDE program.  Through a series of small challenges, students will learn the basics of coding and wiring. This course will prepare them for more advanced courses that will teach them how to use sensors and actuators to create their own inventions.

This class is for beginner coders.  Students do not need to have any prior coding skills.  

IMPORTANT:  If students are using an actual Arduino, they will need to have access to a computer and not just a chromebook or tablet because the Arduino IDE does NOT work on those devices.

NOTE:  Some sections meet once a week for ten weeks and some are twice a week for five weeks.
