This past week, I spent some time at my alma mater, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, teaching a beginner workshop each evening and covering a variety of topics. I had a wonderful time visiting campus and teaching classes, and I had a few late nights putting together the workshops.
This handout serves a few useful purposes. First, it provides a sort of syllabus for what the students will be learning. Second, it gives them something to take home and reference, should they need it. Finally, and most importantly, it allows people with experience in the subject matter to work ahead.
If you are interested in the handouts from the workshops, I’ve included them below. You are welcome to use them as-is or create your own based on them.
The worksheets (PDF) are very helpful for going through the steps of setting up a project and would be great for educators and makerspaces in addition to solo makers:
Adafruit publishes a wide range of writing and video content, including interviews and reporting on the maker market and the wider technology world. Our standards page is intended as a guide to best practices that Adafruit uses, as well as an outline of the ethical standards Adafruit aspires to. While Adafruit is not an independent journalistic institution, Adafruit strives to be a fair, informative, and positive voice within the community – check it out here: adafruit.com/editorialstandards
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat and our Discord!
