Intro to Robotics/Mechatronics (Build a Gadget!)

In this class students will accomplish building mechatronic (mechanical/electronic) gadgets that are geared around giving them a clear introduction to the field of engineering. Students will build things like Traffic Lights, Alarm Systems, Night Lights and Mini Playable Pianos. The class progression will follow the format of the students actively building the "Project of the Day" alongside me while I build the device on screen using a platform called TinkerCAD using the same components in which students have in their purchased Elegoo Kit, from there we will move over to the Arduino online editor and review the code provided by me to understand how and why it works, then upload it and see our gadget working. 

The outline for the ongoing class will look like: 
Week of 3/6: Building a Mini Traffic Light
Week of 3/13: Building a Night Light
Week of 3/20: Building an Alarm System
Week of 3/27: Building a Mini Piano

All weeks will use the same Elegoo UNO kit required to be purchased as material for the class.
