Intro to Arduino Electronical Prototyping

Come learn the basics of Arduino! An Arduino is a low cost open source electronics prototyping board that allows you to use programing logic to control electrical circuits.  It can be used to make electronic toys, smart clothing, animatronic, and kinetic art!

This class is designed with the beginner in mind and serves as a great introduction to the world of physical computing! In this class we will install the Arduino IDE on your personal laptop, introduce you to the types of Arduinos available, program & operate a fan & LED using a breadboard, and take input on next projects you would like to work on.

Taking this class will clear you to use the provided Arduino kit in Mixxer's electronics workstation to experiment further.
