Come learn about the Arduino micro-controller for fun or profit. No experience needed. This workshop will go through the very basics of electricity, how to setup the Arduino, and building a first circuit; an LED nightlight.

This is a virtual, live workshop. After registration, you will recieve a link for participation.

You will need to have the following equipment:

• desktop/laptop computer (for running the Arduino software),
• Arduino Uno or similar board,
• breadboard,
• jumper wires,
• 100 Ohm resisters,
• red, green, and yellow LEDs (or any color you can get)

The Arduino software is free to download here: https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software
