Welcome to our online Arduino class—an exciting journey into the world of electronics and programming!

In this comprehensive course, students will dive deep into the fascinating realm of Arduino—an open-source platform used for building interactive projects. If you are a beginner, this is the right course for you.

Through a series of engaging lessons and hands-on projects, you'll learn the fundamentals of Arduino programming, circuit design, and sensor integration. From blinking LEDs to creating advanced systems, you'll gain the knowledge and skills needed to bring your ideas to life.

Led by experienced instructor with a passion for electronics and education, our online Arduino class offers a supportive learning environment where students can explore, experiment, and innovate at their own pace.

Let's embark on this electrifying journey together!

Welcome to our Arduino programming course! Our workshop cost includes materials that you will need to embark on this journey.  While we offer instructor-led sessions, majority of the course is designed for independent study, with expert guidance along the way.  

We can meet once a week for 4 weeks or follow a compressed schedule for instructor led sessions. Schedule will be confirmed after sign up.

Workshop agenda:

TinkerCAD Circuits

Build the physical version of the circuits in the Arduino Blink lab.

Temperature sensor

Servo, stepper, and DC motors (a.k.a MotorParty)
