Arduino for Beginners – Beginner

1. Objective

Primarily the motivation behind this course is to show students the full potential of Arduino based microcontrollers and to equip them with the knowledge necessary to make use of this potential to bring their own innovative ideas to life.Students will be taught from the very basics, giving them a solid foundation of the fundamentals. 

Learning Arduino which is based on C and C++ primarily, will also help students to easily start learning other new languages such as Java, Python etc. which are of much demand in today’s jobs market.  

Through building circuits and writing code students will be made to complete the hands-on exercises, making them combine several different ideas and concepts.Through this we expect to see student’s thinking out of the box, challenging them to be innovative and creative all the time. 

At the end of this course students will gain the experience of building and completing their very first  robot. The challenges they will be facing will definitely encourage them to be innovative, creative and help them improve their abstract thinking. 

2. Learning Outcome

After completing this course the student will learn about the basics of arduino and how to make a basic robot.
