Touch the light sensor to activate the LED
Before the summer holiday I spent a few Monday evenings with my mentor at Hackspace learning about the Arduino system. I think it is a great way to teach C derived programming languages and illustrate input-process-output in a concrete context. The benefit of Arduino is that you can make real stuff like a system to turn on an LED when someone is standing on your doorstep, or to get a text when someone presses your doorbell. Arduino can be used to solve problems which is key in the new computing programme of study. Arduino is cheap, cool and has a rapidly expanding following of hackers and tinkerers.
As part of the HLT support service we are offering to organise Arduino training at your school or at Hackspace itself with a very experienced engineer and Arduino tutor James Cadman. It could be just for you or for you and your students. Let us know.
Just get in touch.
