Hello World – Arduino – Module 2
✨ Where do you start when programming?
Arduino is the gateway to electronics prototyping, but it's also a fun way to understand how technology (really) works.
With just a few components, a little code, and the right foundation, you can already make an LED blink, build a traffic light, control a motor, or defuse a virtual bomb.
This workshop is designed for anyone who wants to explore the world of electronics and programming in a hands-on, simple way—with no prerequisites.
🎤 A 4-module workshop to get started with Arduino
In this course, which consists of four sessions, we'll work together to build small electronic projects, starting from the basics.
Each session will focus on a specific topic, with the goal of learning a new concept and completing a working project. From sensors to digital outputs, displays, and motors: a comprehensive, step-by-step introduction.
👥 Who is it for?
- Anyone who wants to learn to code from scratch
- Makers, students, curious designers
- Anyone who wants to build something with their own hands
- Anyone who wants to understand how the technologies around us work
🧠 What You'll Learn
- The Basics of Arduino Programming
- The Basics of Electronics and Using a Breadboard
- How to Use Digital and Analog Inputs and Outputs
- How to Control Motors, Displays, and Sensors
- How to Build Real-World Projects with Microcontrollers

ℹ️ All dates
🔹 May 12 – Getting Started and Source Code
An introductory overview of Arduino, the world of microcontrollers, and the integrated development environment (IDE). You'll learn about code structure and basic commands, and you'll complete your first exercises using the built-in LED.
Hands-On Experiments: Hello World, Morse Code with an LED.
🔹 May 19 – Basic Electronics and Circuit Logic
We'll learn how electricity works, what basic components like breadboards, LEDs, resistors, and pushbuttons are, and how to use them. We'll explore the basics of programming to build small interactive systems.
Hands-on experiments: turning on an external LED, building a traffic light.
🔹 May 26 – Motors, Analog Inputs, and Motion
A module dedicated to controlling dynamic components: motors (servo, stepper, DC) and analog sensors. There will also be a guided brainstorming session to help you develop your first personal mini-project
Hands-on experiments: motor control, fire alarm system/independent project.
