Course Description
Summary
A hands-on exploration of interactive electronics with a programmable microcontroller and various sensors, motors, lights and switches in order to see the basics of circuits, coding, and the techniques behind the DIY (Do It Yourself) "Maker" culture. We'll first use the recipes in the Sparkfun Inventor's kit as a starting point to learn about "for" loops, "if" statements, volts, amps, resistance, and then build on those examples to create your own project. No previous experience needed. (Warning: this activity may be habit forming.)
