Arduino is a micro-controller platform designed for ease of use and learning. It allows the creation of electronically controlled projects, whether it be simple blinking lights, a robot or a music generator.
This workshop is aimed at beginners. You don’t needs any previous electronics or programming knowledge or experience.
Topics covered include:
- An introduction to the Arduino
- Using electronic components to build circuits
- Input and output
- Generating sound
- Expanding your Arduino
- And more!
If you already have an Arduino you can bring that along and just purchase a kit, otherwise choose the option to buy an Arduino and kit. All the other electronic components you need are provided in the kit. You will need to bring a laptop to program the Arduino with.
Here are a few comments from past workshop attendees:
