Intro to Arduino and Internet of Things
Grades: 5th to 8th grade. Skill Level: Intermediate. Prerequisite: None. Availability: in-person and virtual. Tools: Arduino & Zoom. Is your child keen on picking apart old electronic devices to see how they work? It's time to turn this passion into action! In this course, students will learn the foundations of IoT (Internet of Things) using Arduino, an electronic circuit board that makes it easy to learn electronics. Students will learn about digital input\output, display, wiring of Arduino and IR Remote. In each session, the students will complete a short project, and by the end of the program, they will have completed an entire engineering project all by themselves (and a little expert help). Virtual Class Requirements: To take part in the program, you must have access to a PC or Mac (not Chromebook) with a webcam as well as an Internet connection with access to Google Meet or Zoom and Tinkercad.com. Arduino Uno kit recommended but not necessary (virtual simulator available).
