Robotics & Smart Devices: Arduino for Kids
Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.
We are surrounded by electronics: smartphones, computers, TVs, robots [https://www.create-learn.us/robotics-for-kids/vex-robotics], and more! While lots of students have learned to code, few have had the opportunity to build a physical system, which opens up a brand new world. Learn Arduino coding online to create electronics projects for real world adventures at home.
In this class, we introduce students step by step to circuit and Arduino, one of the most popular systems for building robots and smart home systems in the industry. Student will learn how to design simple electronic systems for alarms, home sensing, motor controls, etc, as well as creating code to control these systems. The class uses an Arduino simulator and does not require a physical device. However, if you prefer, an Arduino starter kit [https://www.amazon.com/s?k=arduino+starter+kit&crid=3VND5Z6TB2WFJ&sprefix=ardui%2Caps%2C131&ref=nb_sb_ss_ts-doa-p_2_5] can be purchased online for about $40. The same code your student creates in class will work on the device without any changes. It is a great way to explore different kind of coding. Get started with awesome Arduino projects for kids today!
