Arduino III - Game Programming

View Current Schedule

Ages 12-17  |  $225
​
Explore: Journey into a world where C++ and Java collide. Develop electronic circuits to control software. Turn retro games into real life functioning models.
​
Draft, Design, & Build:
Use the Arduino as a synthesizer to replicate the theme songs from retro games. Create a clock that displays the lunar cycle, time of day, day of week, week of month, and month of year. Develop an electronic circuit that senses color and can reproduce that same color. Code Pong in Java. Develop a virtual Etch-A-Sketch using your Arduino as your controller & your computer as the display. Create a rotating SONAR device that resembles technology used on submarines. Develop a game similar to Arkanoid, using C++ & Java.

Value: Take home a customized complimentary kit valued at $100.
​
You will be guided every step of the way by subject matter experts who are well-versed in the field of electronics, programming, and inquiry-based learning.
