Hands-On Electronics: 9:00AM-12:00PM
In a world powered by smart technology and AI, the most innovative engineers understand how software and hardware work together. This course gives young makers that critical edge. We start by exploring the magic of electronics with simple circuits, then begin making customized programmable devices with Arduino. We will gain practice working with LEDs, speakers, a variety of sensors, and several kid-friendly programming interfaces. Each class day is a chance to design, build, and code a new hands-on project while developing a valuable skill set.
App Inventors: 12:45PM-3:45PM
Want to know how the apps work on your phone or iPad? Or do you already have the next great app idea, and just need to know how to make it? In this no-experience-required course, we use MIT App Inventor software to make fun, creative apps for Android phones and tablets. We will also explore wireless communication by building custom Bluetooth hardware controllers and readouts for our apps. Participants will learn both the programming and design aspects of creating great apps, and have the opportunity tobuild apps of their own with the support of Circuit Lab instructors.
Register for both programs (9:00AM-3:45PM) for only $365.00 (discount will be applied at checkout).
