This series includes four independent sessions: 2 half-day guided introductions to Arduino programming and 2 half-day open Arduino mini-makerspaces. We provide all the necessary equipment for all four sessions (except laptops, you should bring your own laptop). Participants should register for each session that wish to attend separately, it is recommended to register for 1 guided introduction and 1 mini-makerspace.
For those who wish to delve deeper, consider following this course with the 8-day "Comprehensive Overview of Arduino" course offered weeks 2-3 of IAP by the same instructors.
Session Description (A guided intro to Arduino programming):
Morning Sessions (Choose from Jan. 6 or Jan. 8)
This is a 3-hour survey of Arduino programming and circuit construction, designed for those with no previous experience in computer programming or electronics. The course will start with a 30-minute lecture about Arduinos, how to program them, and how to use basic electronic components (breadboards, resistors, LEDs, buttons). Participants will then receive instructions and materials to complete a simple Arduino project (controlling an LED and motor using a button and potentiometer).
Session Description (Open Arduino mini-makerspace):
Afternoon Sessions (Choose from Jan. 6 or Jan. 8)
We will host a fully-stocked Arduino mini-makerspace. Participants will have access to breadboards, Arduinos, motors, LEDs, resistors, buttons, and a whole bunch of sensors.
