Hack in the Class: Arduino: Subtitle: Arduino for kids, how to start playing with electronics

Presented at Still Hacking Anyway (SHA2017), Aug. 6, 2017, 1 p.m. (120 minutes)

Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It’s intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments. So also for kids! \o/ This workshop will give you an impression what Arduino is, what the hardware platform and extensions does, how you can work with the hardware and interface. Finally, we will help all kids step by step how we made one (maybe more) of our projects like Blinky (our LED board), the Garduino (for Garden automation) or our Hackerspace automation system. Age: if you can read a bit English it’s probably fine, or bring your mom/dad/friend who can :-) Needed: A laptop would be nice
