Arduino 101 Class at Tam Makers
Our second Arduino 101 class at Tam Makers went really well. I taught this evening course with co-instructor Donald Day on June 23, 2016, at the woodshop in Tam High School in Mill Valley.
We worked with a wonderful group of ten students, including adults with diverse backgrounds, as well as a couple high school students. Our partner Geo Monley worked both as a mentor and as a student during the hands-on sessions.
We started the class at 6pm, by showing students how to make things move with Arduino and servo motors. We then learned how to use buttons, potentiometers and light sensors to control a range of devices -- turning lights on and off, or making motors swivel with a knob.
Students seemed to really enjoy this class and told us they learned a lot from it. Several expressed an interest in taking intermediate and advanced classes in the future. This is one of our first maker courses at Tam Makers, and we’re really happy that it is going so well; we look forward to teaching more classes in the fall.
