Makerspace Workshop: Working with Arduinos I

Do you want to build a device that interacts with social media? Heard about ways to embed switches or sensors in your physical items but don’t know where to find out more?

Arduino is a tool for making microcomputers that can sense and control the physical world. This workshop will introduce participants to the basics of circuitry and programming through a series of hands-on exercises using our Arduino kits. No electronics experience required! Laptops will also be available for participants, but bring your own if you want to save and edit your projects after the workshop.

If you can’t make this session but would like to learn more about Arduino boards and shields, please visit the student consultants in our Makerspace or email scholarslab@virginia.edu to set up an individual appointment.
