Arduino でデジタルペットを作りましょう!

In this hands-on class, students will learn how to build and program a basic “digital pet” using an Arduino board, LEDs, buttons, and simple logic. This project is designed to introduce learners to both physical computing and programming in a fun, interactive way.

✅ What will be taught?
	•	Introduction to Arduino and how it works
	•	Basic electronics: LEDs, resistors, buttons, and breadboarding
	•	Programming fundamentals in the Arduino IDE (if/else, digitalRead/digitalWrite, delays)
	•	Logic-based behavior to simulate pet emotions (hungry, happy, sleepy, etc.)

📚 Topics we’ll cover:
	•	How to wire up a breadboard with LEDs and buttons
	•	How to write and upload Arduino code
	•	Understanding input/output and how to control LEDs with code
	•	Creating behavior rules for the pet (e.g., press a button to “feed” it, or it gets “sad” after a certain time)

🧭 Class Structure:

This class will be taught over two sessions (can be adjusted depending on your plan):
	•	Day 1: Introduction to Arduino, wiring the circuit, setting up LEDs and buttons
	•	Day 2: Writing and testing the code that controls pet behavior, customizing your pet, Q&A, and troubleshooting

Each session will follow this structure:
	1.	Brief intro and review of goals (5–10 mins)
	2.	Live walkthrough of setup/code with screen share and visual aids (20–25 mins)
	3.	Guided hands-on build and code time (30–40 mins)
	4.	Sharing progress, customizations, and wrap-up (10 mins)

🎓 How I’ll Teach:

I’ll guide students step-by-step through both the wiring and the code using live screen sharing, visual diagrams, and live demos with my own Arduino. I make sure to check in often, encourage questions, and troubleshoot in real-time to support all learners — no one gets left behind!

💬 Interaction Style:

This is a very interactive class! Students will:
	•	Build along with me in real time
	•	Ask questions throughout via mic or chat
	•	Share their screens or show their circuits if they need help
	•	Participate in group discussions and “show and tell” of their digital pets

I foster a relaxed and fun environment where learners feel comfortable experimenting, making mistakes, and celebrating progress together.
