C14225: Intro to Circuits and Coding with Arduino in Splash 2020 (Nov. 14 - 15, 2020)
Learn the basics of building a circuit on a breadboard and programming an Arduino. An Arduino is a small device that allows your code to come alive on your circuit. Program an LED light to blink in time with music and build a light-sensitive night light using an LED and photoresistor. Since this class is virtual, we will be using an online simulator to build our circuits. A computer is required for using the online simulator and joining the Zoom call. A working microphone (built-in laptop microphone is fine) is strongly preferred so that we can communicate effectively with you, and you can collaborate with classmates during the Zoom call. No prior knowledge of circuits, programming, or Arduino is required for this class.


C13611: Intro to Circuits and Coding with Arduino in Splash 2019 (Nov. 23 - 24, 2019)
Learn the basics of building a circuit on a breadboard. Program an LED light to blink in time with music using an Arduino. An Arduino is a small device that allows your code to come alive on your circuit. No prior knowledge of circuits, programming, or Arduino is required for this class.


C12979: Intro to Circuits and Coding with Arduino in Spark 2019 (Mar. 16 - 17, 2019)
Learn the basics of building a circuit on a breadboard. Program an LED light to blink in time with music using an Arduino. An Arduino is a small device that allows your code to come alive on your circuit. No prior knowledge of circuits, programming, or Arduino is required for this class.


C12486: Intro to Circuits and Coding with Arduino in Splash 2018 (Nov. 17 - 18, 2018)
Learn the basics of building a circuit on a breadboard. Program an LED light to blink in time with music using an Arduino. An Arduino is a small device that allows your code to come alive on your circuit. No prior knowledge of circuits, programming, or Arduino is required for this class.


C12229: Intro to Circuits and Coding with Arduino in Spark 2018 (Mar. 17 - 18, 2018)
Learn the basics of building a circuit on a breadboard. Program an LED light to blink in time with music using an Arduino. An Arduino is a small device that allows your code to come alive on your circuit. No prior knowledge of circuits, programming, or Arduino is required for this class.


E11614: I Heart Circuits in Splash 2017 (Nov. 18 - 19, 2017)
If you've ever wanted to learn how to use a breadboard, or how resistors, capacitors, and op amps work together to make magical circuits, or are just curious about electronics in general, stop your head scratching and take this class! Learn to understand the design of basic circuits through the process of building a heartbeat monitor! And guess what!! You get to take home and keep the heartbeat monitors you built! Take this class and you'll learn to heart circuits just as much as I do.


C11869: Intro to Circuits and Coding with Arduino in Splash 2017 (Nov. 18 - 19, 2017)
Learn the basics of building a circuit on a breadboard. Program an LED light to blink in time with music using an Arduino. An Arduino is a small device that allows your code to come alive on your circuit. No prior knowledge of circuits, programming, or Arduino is required for this class.


C11407: Intro to Circuits and Coding with Arduino in Spark 2017 (Mar. 11 - 12, 2017)
Learn the basics of building a circuit on a breadboard. Program an LED light to blink in time with music using an Arduino. An Arduino is a small device that allows your code to come alive on your circuit. No prior knowledge of circuits, programming, or Arduino is required for this class. (Note: This class will be very similar to Intro to Technology: Arduino. It is not recommended to take both classes.)


X10954: Extemporaneous 5-minute Classes on Absolutely Anything in Splash 2016 (Nov. 19 - 20, 2016)
Ever wondered about how to properly handle a crocodile? Ever wanted to know how to spot a split infinitive? Now's your chance to find out ALL the answers! Give us a title, we'll teach a 5-minute class on the topic! The weirder the topic, the more you'll get to see us embarrass ourselves as we make up answers on the spot. Bring your silliest, awesome-est, ludicrous-est ideas! (shameless idea cred to Anna '14)
