This training focusses on classroom activities that make use of a learning by tinkering approach in order to develop the pupils’ critical thinking skills and subject knowledge in electronics and  programming.

Programmable electronic devices such as Arduino and Raspberry Pi are used as the main control unit in our CanSat and Astro Pi school projects. Being familiar with the main functions and commands of these devices is a great step on starting up these projects.

During this course you will be introduced to the basic structure and functions of Arduino, using the “Circuits” tool of Autodesk Tinkercad. You will build basic electronic circuits using LEDs, resistors, temperature sensors and motors. You will program the Arduino platform to perform experiments included in the CanSat primary mission, along with some more advanced circuits that will introduce you to more advanced concepts.

Tinkercad Circuits provides a full simulation platform for Arduino, so no hardware is necessary to attend the course.

More information, including course Overview, coming soon.
