Introduction to Physical Computing with Arduino

Units

Unit Description
Intro to Arduino: Students go through the basics of the Arduino device, such as how to light up and change the brightness of LEDs, and learn how variables can be used to write more versatile programs. Students build circuits to control LEDs and motors with the Arduino and explore how pseudocode can be used to structure programs from the start.
Program Control with Arduino: Students learn how to apply control structures, such as if/else statements and loops to create programs that will react to the outside world. They build programs that use sensors to detect temperature, light, and distance and make decisions based on the information collected.
Advanced Arduino: Students have a chance to explore all of the capabilities of the Arduino on their own! They research, explore, and teach their peers about new sensors, follow directions to build an advanced device, and have a chance to create their very own Arduino machine.
