This is your friendly introductory class. We'll cover what an Arduino is, how to program your arduino, what a variable is, what a function is, how to call a function, basic statements. Most importantly, we'll cover where to get help if you need it. Once we get a handle on how everything works, we'll go about writing a simple program to blink an LED when a button is pressed.

The Arduino is a simple yet powerful microcontroller board. More info here: arduino.cc

If there is time, we'll keep adding features and doing cool things.

An Arduino and a Learner Shield will be provided for use, but please bring a laptop if possible.
