Event

Arduino 101 Intro to Electronics

when: november 23rd to December 14th, Monday evenings 5:45-7:30

who: ages 11-16

Want to learn how to build things with electronics, computers, and microcontrollers but need a little help?

We will explore the basics of electronics and microcontrollers -- LEDs, transistors, resistors, motors, integrated circuits, and sensors using solderless breadboards, one of the more commonly used electrical engineering prototyping tools. We will work together on a series of interesting circuits and programs using the Arduino. What's the Arduino?

From www.arduino.cc -- "Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It's intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments."

The suggested donation for the class is $30 per session. All of the events, classes, and workshops hosted and run by the Parts and Crafts Collective are free, or operate on a sliding-scale. Donations greater than the suggested amount are deeply appreciated and help us create our projects and run our programs and allow us to work with people who could not otherwise afford to come to our events. No one will be turned away based on their lack of ability to pay.
