Robotics with Arduino for Youth 12+

Robotics with Arduino for Youth will run each Friday for 12 weeks at MCC.

Robots are changing the job market, and employment requirements. Moreover, They are reshaping the world around us. In addition, robotics and technology (Such as Arduino) are not  just  nice extra-curricular activity for youth. Indeed, it is central to the future success of any youth regardless of age.

In this introduction to coding and robotics, youth will learn the art of making. Youth will be introduced to Arduino technology, which can be used to make  greatest dreams and ambitions come true, whether it be a cool do-it-yourself lava lamp, 3D printer or even a drone. Once mastered, the possibilities of Arduino technology are endless. Imagination is the limit. Youth participants will be using the Arduino board to create creative projects using simple circuits and write programming code to make the Arduino function.

In this course youth will learn:

• Thinking creatively
• Basic electronics
• Basic coding in java
• Parts that are applicable with Arduino
• Using Lights/LED
• Measuring light – Using a photo-resistor
• Using buttons and switches
• Using LCD display
• Using motors
• Introduction to sensors
