Introducing Arduino: A Little Programming + Electronics... A Lot Of Pleasure

What could be better than spending time learning about Arduino, the favourite open source hardware hacking platform for designers, artists and hobbyists?

Join Technology Will Save Us for a one-day intensive workshop to get you started with creative coding using Arduino!

The session runs for 6 hours to get your Arduino on, plus an hour lunch break. There will also be coffee breaks and optional drinks afterwards!

This session is available every last Saturday of the month.

On the day we will cover:
Basic electronic components and theory
Introduction to the Arduino programming environment
How to use both digital and analogue inputs (switches) and outputs (lights and motors)
How to use analog inputs (sensors) and outputs (light brightness & motor speed)
How to wire up and use sensors and motors with your ideas and make lights (LEDs) turn on and off, fade up and down, and blink at your command ... and then its up to you to take it to the next level and start building your own projects!

Level:
This is an introductory level course for beginners, aged 12+ and aimed at anyone and everyone who wants to learn the basics of Arduino, simple electronics and how to build interactive projects.

What is included?
We can supply you with your own hardware: Arduino board and kit, complete with LEDs, sensors, motors, electronic components and more to take home. If you have your own kit and components, bring them along! If there is anything you’d like to borrow, let us know and we will arrange to have Arduinos and components to loan to you for the duration of the session.

All prices include VAT.

What should I bring?
Yourself and your laptop! Bring your own Arduino Kit if you have it, or you can get a starter kit as a part of your ticket.
Please install the Arduino software before you arrive at the class.
