101 - Arduino (intermediate)

Step up your Arduino adventure at The Edge. 

Arduino is an open-source electronics platform that lets you create a wide range of interactive objects and projects. This workshop is the perfect follow-up to our Introductory Arduino 101 session, diving deeper into coding and prototyping. 

Some of the exciting things you can create with Arduino include robotics, controlling sensors and components, interactive games, automated tasks, and much more. 

This workshop is a great opportunity to learn about electronics, including inputs and outputs, and explore how computers, robots, and mechanical devices interact. 

Throughout the session, you’ll learn how to update and write your own code for Arduino microcontrollers. With basic programming knowledge, you’ll be able to elevate your electronics projects, add new features, and bring your creative ideas to life. 

A take-home workshop kit is available for an additional $25 to cover material costs, so you can continue experimenting with the Arduino open-source platform after the session.
