Wiring diagrams made using Fritzing.
In this course we don't expect students to write much of their own code. We explain just enough syntax for students to understand the code we provide. Later, we provide working code for students to modify (e.g. if/else statements, constants, parameters).
We provide bonus exercises for students more familiar with coding at the bottom of each lesson.
Projects build upon each other for the first three workshops so students don't have to rewire anything. We emphasize interactive projects like games.
We try to minimize dead time / tedious tasks by providing all code and diagrams on this website.
