Students will learn all about the Arduino Uno and how to attach sensors and actuators to it. By the end of this course they will be able to write code that controls LEDs, passive buzzers, ultrasonic sensors, servo motors, pushbuttons, photoresistors, thermistors, and potentiometers.  Students will create an invention that uses at least three components.

I have been a private school middle and high school science teacher for over 30 years. During that time, I taught classes in chemistry, engineering, earth science, life science, chemistry, forensic science, biology, and health.  I enjoy teaching through hands-on experimentation and I believe that students learn best when they are activity engaged in the learning process.

I am an amateur photographer and love to photograph my grandchildren, my dog, and wildlife. I enjoy creating scrapbooks from my photos. I also enjoy tinkering with my Arduino and 3D printer to create inventions of my own.

숙제 제공
Students will follow along with the lessons shown on the video and then complete a few activities as practice.  Each week, in the classroom tab on Outschool, students will respond the a classroom prompt, post answers to questions, upload their code, and share videos and pictures of their projects. They will also collaborate with other students and provide feedback to their peers.

Students who do not have an Arduino Uno will need to create an account with www.autocad.com in order to use the Arduino simulation found at www.tinkercad.com (the circuit section).

Students who have an Arduino Uno will need to download the latest version of the Arduino IDE from www.arduino.cc.  Please do NOT use the beta version - only use the version 1.8.13 or 1.8.14.
