Level 1
Students will link their knowledge of Scratch to the basics of Arduino programming, making an Arcade Game.
Schedule & Theme:
Arcade Machines 17-20 August 9.00-12.00
Using Mechantronics students will learn how to connect components on a breadboard and do basic Arduino programming to control them. The course is designed to introduce concepts step-by-step.
Your child will learn:
-
How to create a simple LED circuit to LED flashes at various intervals
-
The anatomy of an Arduino sketch, software and breadboard
-
Setup() functions and a loop() functions
-
How to “code” the Arduino
-
Mechanics and circuitry basics of robotics
Cost: £219.00* (Including Arduino Kit* to take home)
Eligibility: This course is suitable for intermediate learners who have Scratch or other programming experience. Candidates may be invited to an interview to determine their suitability.
Non-Refundable Deposit: £50 is required at the time of registration to guarantee a place for your child. This will be deducted from the programme cost.
Each student will be provided with their own Arduino kit*
* Two members from the same family registering for this course a 10% discount.
Projects
Students will be using visual coding and Arduino C which allows them to disconnect the Arduino from the Computer to create stand alone, autonomous projects.
Schedule & Theme
Making a Lock Box: 20-24 July 1.00-4.00pm
Mystery Project 17-20 August 1.00-4.00pm
Building Stand Alone Projects
Students will conceptualise and execute the project during the week. Creative thinking, brainstorming and collaboration will be practised by all.
-
Students will be re-familiarised with the electronic components covered in Level 1.
-
Programming the Arduino using visual coding and introducing the Arduino C language.
-
Anatomy of an Arduino; hardware and software.
-
Individual laptops provided.
-
Each student will bring their own Arduino kit* from Mechatronics Level 1 plus we will provide additional robotic's hardware.

Mechatronics is the meeting of computer programming and the physical world — sensors, lights, motors and so much more. It is the real world application of coding which is almost invisibly everywhere from washing machines to security systems, robots to vehicles.
