Be very, very careful – students will build a buzzer circuit using a breadboard, LEDs, resistors, wires, 3d printed parts, and an Arduino microcontroller. The build will include a path and a hoop that can be moved along the path, but be careful! If the hoop touches the path the circuit will buzz and that’s game over.

Our instructors will cover the basic operation of the Arduino and how circuits work. Once the circuit is complete students will then program the Arduino to buzz and light up if the player loses. The program will also keep track of time to see who can finish the course the fastest. The Arduino programming language is a text based simplified variant of the  C++ programming language.
