Contents:
Making ideas come to life: the short beautiful history of Arduino -- Electrifying news -- Setting up your Arduino makerspace -- Arduino building blocks -- Imagine it, build it: simple Arduino projects -- The wide world of Arduino projects -- Arduino on the move -- Beyond Arduino.
Summary:
If makerspaces allow young people to collaborate on building projects, then Arduino allows them to go to the next level. Arduino is a do-it-yourself kit that includes a microcontroller that makes using electronics more accessible. Basically, this means that even those who are not experts in electronics can do amazing things, such as build and program robots. This book opens young people up to the possibilities of this exciting world by explaining exactly what makerspaces and Arduino are and how virtually anyone can use these tools to build programmable devices, a skill that is essential in any STEM field.
