Arduino is a micro-controller platform designed for ease of use and learning. It allows the creation of electronically controlled projects, whether it be simple blinking lights, a robot or a music generator.

This workshop is aimed at beginners. You don't needs any previous electronics or programming knowledge or experience. Topics covered include:

• An introduction to the Arduino
• Using electronic components to build circuits
• Input and output
• Generating sound
• Expanding your Arduino
• And more!

If you already have an Arduino you can bring that along and just purchase a kit, otherwise choose the option to buy an Arduino and kit. All the other electronic components you need are provided in the kit. You will need to bring a laptop to program the Arduino with.

The workshop will take place from 10:30am to about 5:00pm, with a break for lunch. Tea and coffee will be provided, Summerhall has a cafe for food or you're welcome to bring a packed lunch.
