Our Projects

In your first month, you'll learn how to write your own computer program in the Arduino language (C/C++), and how to connect electronic components together.

You will also learn about these basic programming concepts:

• Comments and Variables
• What's a Microcontroller?
• How we use code to control the LEDs

Get it right 10 times, and the game levels up with faster patterns! You’ll learn even more programming basics such as constants, functions, random numbers, and musical notes. You will also learn how to wire buttons and how to read their inputs.

For this project, we cover:

• Randomizing Ouputs
• Arrays and Functions
• Generating Sounds - Frequency Maniuplation

Using echolocation, bats bounce sound waves off of nearby objects to find their way around in complete darkness. With an ULTRASONIC SENSOR, you can experience this first-hand!

For this project, we cover:

• Detecting variable input values
• Using the serial monitor

Roll a 2, 7 or 12 to win! You will apply the skills you have been learning from the previous projects and put your programming knowledge to the test!

For this project, we cover:

• Level 2 Wiring
• Coding Challenge
• If / Else Statements

Wave your hands in the air to control the sound of the theremin. Play with the instrument settings until they match your musical style! You will utilize an electrical component known at the potentiometer as a knob to control the instrument. You will be testing your hardware and software knowledge that you have accumulated from the past projects.

For this project, we cover:

• Using a Potentiometer
• Using a Light Dependant Resistor

Test your reflex time against your friends. You’ll learn about the electrical concept of the floating pin, as well as how to program your own functions and how to calculate elapsed time.

For this project, we cover:

• Downloading Code
• Using pulldown and pullup Resistors
• Level 2 Functions
