Circuits & Arduino's: Having fun with electricy and coding.
What are we exploring?
First we will learn about the basics of electricity, how circuits work and build basic circuits that can light up LED's and make simple switches.
Then we will learn about more advanced ciruits and using conductivity to make unique circuits with something called a MakeyMakey.
Finally we will work with a ciruit board called an arduino, which has the ability to be coded to make unique devices for more advanced technology.
Digital Textbooks
Circuits & Arduino's Resources
This digital textbook contains resources for how to read schematics, Ohm's Law, and video's to help you when you are stuck on a project.
Introduction to Arduino's
Students will learn how to use Arduino's, which are a fun little circuit board you can program with coding. We will make all kinds of fun little projects using something called a Micro|bit.
Arduino's and Coding
Students will learn how text coding, specifically Python coding, to program a more advanced Arduino circuit board. This will be a more challenging lesson we will learn how to use our math and science skills in a new way.
