Project Code.
Welcome to Project Code on the 6th Grade Elective Wheel!
This is year 2 for the Tustin Unified School District initiative called Project Code. Our goal is to provide coding opportunities for every student in TUSD. This quarter we will be coding Arduino and working our way to coding and flying drones! You are in for THE. MOST. EPIC. WHEEL. EVER. |
Everyone, everyday, uses technology. Most of us leave the programming to engineers because we think coding and electronics are complicated and difficult; actually, they can be fun and exciting activities. Thanks to Arduino, designers, artists, hobbyists, and students of all ages are learning to create things that light up, move, and respond to people, animals, plants, and the rest of the world.
Over the years Arduino has been used as the “brain” in thousands of projects, one more creative than the last. A worldwide community of makers has gathered around this open-source platform, moving from personal computing to personal fabrication, and contributing to a new world of participation, cooperation, and sharing. Arduino is open and simple. Suddenly electronics and code become creative tools that anyone can use - like brushes and paint. This class will walk you through the basics in a hands-on way, with creative projects you build by learning. Once you’ve mastered the basics, you’ll have a palette of software and circuits that you can use to create something beautiful... the opportunities are endless! |
