Description:This curriculum is designed to introduce participants to the basics of Arduino programming, circuit design, soldering, and oscilloscope use. Participants will learn how to write code to control an LED and various components such as buzzers, motors, sensors and more as well as getting hands-on experience in building circuits to control these components.*The registration cutoff time for the class is 9 am on the day of the event.Skills Learned:Basic programming concepts (variables, conditionals, loops)Circuit design and prototypingFamiliarity with electronic components (LEDs, resistors, capacitors, servo motors, sensors)Troubleshooting and problem-solving skillsMaker Skills/Resources Needed:Laptop with USB ports Windows or MAC or Chrome bookBasic computer literacy (ability to use a text editor)Familiarity with basic electronics concepts (e.g. voltage, current, resistance)
