Imperial College Design Collective Arduino workshop

The objective of the workshop is to Introduce Arduino to new users who wish to use it for lab application: what it is Arduino, what it is good for, how to use it, and how to develop your Arduino skills.

​

Learning outcomes – by the end of the workshop you will:

• Understand how Arduino can be used for creative, technological and lab applications

• Know how to install and connect Arduino to your computer

• Know how to use the Arduino development environment (IDE)

• Understand the anatomyof the Arduino micro-controller

• Be able to program your Arduino to read sensor(s), and to operate actuators according to logical conditions

• Be familiarized with various sensors and actuators

• Know how to read/send data to/from your Arduino from your computer

• Be familiarized with different options for remotely communicating with your Arduino

• Be familiar with books and on-line resources that will allow you to further develop your Arduino skills

 

This is an interactive workshop with lots of hands-on activity. No prior knowledge of electronics/programming is required

​

In each hand-on session, 12-15 participants will be divided into small groups of 2-3. Please bring your laptops to the session (1 laptop for each group) and download and install the Arduino software before the session (see link in the 'Workshop Materials' page).
