This hands-on masterclass will introduce participants to Arduino – an open-source electronics platform, where single-board microcontrollers and kits are used to build digital devices. Pat McMahon will take you through a range of projects, including LEDs, push-button switches, sounders, potentiometers, and ultra-sonic sensors. You’ll discuss the applications for this technology in the classroom and identify new ways to engage your students in STEM.
