Arduino Workshop – Build Your Own Traffic Lights!
Ever wondered how traffic lights work? In this workshop, you’ll get hands-on with an Arduino Nano and learn how to program and wire up your own working traffic light system.
You’ll build the circuit on a breadboard with LEDs and resistors, then write and upload code that controls the light sequence. Along the way, you’ll learn about microcontrollers, coding, and how electronics and software work together.
💡 What you'll do:
- Learn the basics of Arduino programming
- Build a simple circuit on a breadboard
- Connect LEDs and resistors to simulate traffic lights
- Upload and test code to run a working traffic light sequence
- Experiment with timings or add extras like pedestrian crossings!
🔧 No experience needed – beginners welcome! We’ll guide you step by step.
