Notes
Almost every electronic device we use relies on code. The way things work can seem quite confusing, but when you break it down, it's simple. Learn how to code in this fun elective. Arduino is an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software. This elective aims to demystify the Arduino microcontroller through hands-on work creating simple machines with embodied behaviors. Part 1 of this elective brings students over the beginner's threshold to a basic understanding of the use, terminology, and potential of the Arduino. The skills and concepts taught are presented from an interdisciplinary approach that merges practices in arts and technology.
