Event Overview
The Arduino microcontroller is a powerful device designed to bridge the physical and the digital world. Analog input, SONAR, light sensors, flex resistors and buttons will be put to use to control a variety of LEDs, servo motors, actuators, and computer programs. It’s no surprise Arduinos are a favorite in the DIY Maker community! Our class will teach the basics of programming and circuitry while giving your child an opportunity to experiment with the versatile microcontroller. Other topics covered include analog vs digital input, pulse-width modulation, and digital output. Don’t worry, it’s not as hard as it sounds!

Making things is a rewarding and effective activity that engages both creative and analytical thinking and which fundamentally appeals to most kids. In making are two important and often underdeveloped values, the pride of one's craft and the empowerment of creative agency. It is clear our children have the power to do amazing things when their imagination is connected to the right resources. At Bit Space, creators benefit from the combination of free exploration and guided learning in a cool space with great resources.
