Want to build your own electronics? A remote-controlled door lock? A temperature-sensing cooling fan? An interactive teddy bear? An automatic nerf gun? In this program, participants will use sensors, motors, and microcontrollers to build circuits to control everyday things. They will learn how to connect circuits, power motors, and program Arduino Unos. No prior experience necessary; they will start with the basics.
