Intro to Arduino Using Tinkercad Circuits
Completed by 4 learners
Ages 10-14
Live One-Time Class
Design and code Arduino projects virtually using Tinkercad Circuits, a free online tool for designing circuits, creating electronics projects and even simple robotics. ,
Arduino is a micro controller system that allows you to use your computer to interact with the world, through blinking lights, driving servos and motors, making sounds, using light-sensing diodes , perhaps to have a motorcar follow a path, and more. Tinkercad Circuits allows us to simulate Arduino micro controllers and to build circuits that use them without needing to acquire all the physical components. We’ll use this tool to build some introductory Arduino circuits and demonstrate some Arduino programming concepts like variables, functions and loops. Kids will need a free Tinkercad account: https://www.tinkercad.com/

Parts and Crafts is a 501(c)3 Non-Profit that was originally founded in 2009 as a summer camp in the Boston area. In the winter of 2011-12 parents who were unhappy with their local elementary school asked if we would start a homeschooling resource group. After many months of planning, the Center for Semi-Conducted Learning (CSCL) opened in September of 2012 with 8 kids. In March of 2020 we had upwards of 50 homeschoolers per week, and even more in our afterschool program. Since going fully online March 23, 2020, we've had almost 160 kids join us for April Camp, CSCL online, and summer camp. We've drawn wacky creatures, folded paper, made bioplastics, and baked, played Magic the Gathering and Minecraft, built sculptures and milk-jug pigs out of recycling and trash, played social games like the Village and role playing games like Kids on Bikes, learned about secret codes and ciphers, and much much more!
