We will be hosting a 6-week Basics of Arduino course starting on July 12th. This course is designed for beginners eager to explore the world of Arduino programming and electronics. Every Wednesday from 12-2 PM, you'll delve into the fundamentals of Arduino, a microcontroller platform, and gain hands-on experience in building your own projects. Through a structured half-lesson, half-project curriculum, Rushi Patel will guide you in understanding Arduino components, coding with the Arduino IDE, and integrating sensors and actuators to create amazing projects. Don't miss this opportunity to embark on a journey of innovation and invention. Enroll today!

Rushi Patel is an 8th grader living in Westford, MA. An Arduino hobbyist with 3+ years of experience, he has developed many projects like hand-actuated dustbins, memory games, and automated parallel parking cars. He has also competed in many FLL robotics competitions at both the regional and state levels. Last year he tasked himself with coaching a completely brand new FLL team and led them to success. With this 6-week Basics of Arduino course, he plans teach both the hardware and software parts of Arduino in a fun, interactive class that will incorporate teamwork and creativity.

Open to young coders who have just finished fifth grade up to those who are entering eighth grade.

Please bring your own PC/Chromebook. The library has a limited number of devices to lend if you do not have one. These are available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
