Adults Workshop is Now Fully Booked

For the workshops for young people and adults we will purely be using the Arduino environment, but will also be demonstrating how you can use it on your Raspberry Pi! We will be starting from the beginning in how to use the Arduino programming environment to write sketches to upload to the board, as well as covering how to build circuits on a breadboard.

In this workshop participants will learn:

• The basics of making an electrical circuit.
• How to program in the Arduino Environment.
• Working with components like LEDs, switches, piezos and potentiometers.

To attend this workshop you will need:

• A laptop with the latest version of Arduino installed on it. Please note, if you are a Windows user, you will also need to install the drivers for Arduino Uno. There is guidance for this on the Arduino website.

Showcase:

After the workshops there will be a showcase and in which people can share and talk about their work. If you are interested in participating in this then please check out the Furtherfield website which has all the details on it.

If you have any questions at all about the above then please don’t hesitate to get in touch!
