Description:
This class will teach the introduction to Arduino programming. Recommended for absolute beginners up to beginners with some knowledge of Arduino
This class covers only the programming aspect of Arduino. Check out the other Sufficient Space courses for Electronics, Electricity, and Soldering.
Included in the cost of the class you will walk away with a pre-built Arduino Nano with LEDs, a pushbutton, a slider potentiometer, and a programming cable to continue learning on your own at home when you've finished the class.
At the end of the class you will have a functioning on-the-fly programmable kitchen timer using only 1 pushbutton, 1 potentiometer and 3 LEDs (plus the built in Arduino LED)
I put a heavy emphasis on showing every step of how I do things and providing ample documentation for everything.
As such my class will include a link to my Github which will have all of the code for you to follow along and use as a resource after the class is over.
Required materials for this course:
-Laptop with functioning USB port and wifi capability
Age restrictions:
-Intended for 18+ but exceptions can be made for interested persons age 15-17
Pricing:
-$60 for the general public
-$15 discount for Sufficient Space members (contact the organizer for details)

COURSE DESCRIPTION
Harnessing Electricity is a SUPER POWER!
A SUPER POWER you can begin to learn in this 2.5 hour Makerspace class taught by Andre, an instructor with a passion for democratizing engineering and making the complex simple to understand.
Now more than ever, there is no reason not to get started learning how to work with electronic equipment and teaching yourself how to design and build electronics.
This course is designed for complete beginners and is designed to take you to confidence working around all types of electricity (and to recognize electrical danger so you don't work on things you shouldn't!)
In this class, you will come away with your own circuit on a breadboard that you have built using the most common electircal components (Wire, switches, resistors, transistors, capacitors, Diodes and an Integrated Circuit).
Along the way you'll master these concepts:
-What is Electrical Power and How to measure it?
-How to deeply and intuively understand concepts like Volts, Amps, Resistance, Ohm's Law
-How does wall outlet electricity differ from that in a battery?
-How do you work with and on electrical devices safely and without damaging components or yourself?
-How do you interpret a circuit diagram?
-How to safely and correctly Use the basic Electronics Workbench Tools at the Makerspace
-How to use a Breadboard to Build a Working Prototype of a Circuit
This course is a pre-requisite to higher level electronics courses at the Makerspace and is intended for beginners of al ages.
If you already have electronics skills you can test out of this directly into higher level courses. This is for total beginners.
*NOTE: This is not a course on how to solder. Soldering is a seperate course and all the circuits we will build in this class involve no soldering.
AGE RESTRICTIONS:
Intended for 18 and up (exceptions can be made for ages 15-17 that are interested, and 12-14 are ok if they attend with a parent). Contact organizer for approval for students younger than 12.
PRICING:
$75 General Admissions
