Intro to Raspberry Pi and Arduino Devices

The course begins with an overview of the Raspberry Pi Pico and other low-cost single-board devices. Students will learn why the Pico is so popular while programming their own Raspberry Pi device to blink a light and sound a buzzer. We will end the course talking about the limitless potential the Pico has to communicate with other devices such as motors, screens and sensors of any kind.

Note: you will need to being a computer – everything else will be provided.
