An Arduino introduction workshop for teenagers in Issy-les-Moulineaux

On this Saturday, January 8, two IsHelp members headed to the Fort d'Issy, home to Le Temps des Cerises, a venue for “multi-disciplinary events, cultural discoveries, playful, digital and scientific experiments, meetings and exchanges for all publics”.

Among the various activities offered, we had the opportunity to host an Arduino introduction workshop - a prototyping platform that makes it easy to create electronic objects from circuit boards, available for about twenty euros.

After introducing the device to the teenagers and demonstrating a short computer code used to make a diode blink, they had to modify the code to create a garland!

The workshop was a success for both the organizers and the participants, and will hopefully have sparked the curiosity of most of them 😄
