Arduino – Electronics and programming – for school groups.

Arduino – Electronics and programming for schools is an exciting introduction to the world of microcontrollers used in electronics and robotics applications. Participants will write programs to manipulate the ATmega 328 microcontroller found in Arduino Uno boards and other embedded real world applications. The microcontroller will be used with circuits of electronic components which participants will assemble.

Experiences include using computer code to control lights, interacting with the environment using buttons and sensors, creating a controller for a game and much more! No background in programming required.
