What You'll Learn: This class will introduce students to LEDs:

• Basics of how they work
• Different types of LEDs available
• How to light them

We'll cover single color and RGB discrete LEDs, LED strips, and NEOPIXELS.

TinkerCAD examples will be used to illustrate how LEDs are used in circuits and how to control their illumination using Arduino UNO.

Cost: $25

Prerequisites: Some exposure to electricity and simple programming would be useful.

Before Class: You'll need to sign up for a free account at TinkerCAD before class. Register for an account: Go to web page www.tinkercad.com

Note: TinkerCAD is a web based simulator, you do not have to download anything. You do have to make an account with login. After you are logged in, check out the Circuits option (located below 3D Designs).

Virtual Classroom Access: After registering on the Nova Labs Portal, the Zoom link will be visible under the 'location' info for the class.

Age Requirement: Beginners of all ages are welcome

Instructor: Nick Carter is a retired electrical engineer and STEM instructor. He teaches the Nova Labs series in basic electronics, Arduinos, and sensors.

Want to learn more? Nova Labs hosts Arduino meetups (3rd Tuesday of the month) and Robotics Meetups (3rd Saturday of the month), now held virtually, where you can discuss your projects with other makers. After re-opening, Nova Labs will host Electronics Evenings to discuss projects, and members can use the Electronics Bench to make things.

All proceeds of this event will be donated to Nova Labs, Inc. a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

Cancellation Policy: 48 hours in advance
