Starting Robotics - Web Design - Arduino Programming

Classes available to students ages 8 to 17.


The only prerequisites are the ability navigate computer programs and basic typing. For instance navigate through different windows, be able to copy/paste, and know where special keys are on a keyboard.



Input your email address to be contacted about in future classes.


Starting Robotics (Teens Only)
Mondays 1:00 PM - 1:55 PM

Starts Monday Sept. 4th. 15 Weeks $200 per student
4 Seats Remaining.

Build a two wheel robot that is coded with the Arduino language. This is not drag and drop programming. This is text based coding.
When this class is over every student will be able to take their programmed robot home for future exploration.

Class objectives:
1. Learn how to activate motors in the Arduino language.
2. Learn how to check a sensor to detect obstacles.
3. Learn how to check multiple sensors to follow a line.
4. Learn how to control the robot when an obstacle is detected.
5. Learn how to control the robot when it senses a line.

Final objective:
1. Robot follows line.
2. Robot detects object in it's path.
3. Robot navigates around object.
4. Robot finds line.
5. Robot resumes following line.
Must be accomplished at least twice to show consistency.

Circuit Playground Programming
Mondays 3:00 PM - 3:55 PM

Starts Monday Sept. 4th. 15 Weeks $200 per student
Learn to Code the Arduino Compatible Circuit Playground.
Students will learn to code the multiple Input and Output Sensors on a Circuit Playground.
4 Seats Remaining.

Class objectives:
1. Learn how to turn on an LED.
2. Learn how to read buttons and slide switches.
3. Learn how to create light shows with Neo Pixel RGB LEDs.
4. Learn how to read a temperature sensor.
5. Learn how to read a light sensor.
6. Learn how to listen for sound through a microphone.
7. Learn how to output sound through a speaker.
8. Learn how to read the motion of an accelerometer.
9. Learn how to use capacitive touch to activate outputs.

Final objective:
Create a simple electronic game that contains these requirements.
1. Circuit Playground accepts user input.
2. Circuit Playground processes the input.
3. Circuit Playground produces an output in response.
4. The game continues with some indicator of the previous plays.

I realize that these classes won't work for everyone. If you're interested in these classes but the day/time or anything else isn't something you can deal with send me an email info1@417makerspace.com. Maybe I can I get enough interest to do a class to fit your needs.

Classes are limited in size. So it's possible for them to be over booked by multiple transactions near the same time. If this happens some students might have to change class times or be refunded their money.
