SUMMARY:STEM SATURDAY
DESCRIPTION:In this 2 hour-class\, participants will learn the basics of the popular Arduino microcontroller hardware and software.  They will first assemble a modular battery-powered electric dragster\, which includes an Arduino board\, motor controller\, DC motor\, and servo motor. Next\, they will use a laptop with Arduino software to write a simple program that will control the dragster’s motion.  After uploading the sketch to their vehicle\, they will fine-tune it so that the car navigates an obstacle course in the least possible time. Participants will be allowed to keep their completed dragster.  Ages 12-16 yrs. A minimum of 5 participants to have this program. \nRegistration is required.  \n  Funding for this program is made possible by a generous grant from SRP—San Tan Generating Station.

Throughout our lives\, we encounter opportunities.

Sometimes they change our lives in interesting and desirable ways. In this workshop we will discuss our experiences with a range of opportunities. Ages 14 and up. \nRegistration is required
