 If today is your first experience of programming and electronics then it's best to keep to Easier challenges, doing some Intermediate if you can. If you've previous experience or get through the Easier and Intermediate easily then try some Harder challenges. You can use these tutorials at home after the workshop so you can go back and try challenges later.

 If you find any problems in the wiki, like spelling mistakes or code errors, then either correct them, or tell us so that we can correct them. That will save other people in the workshop wasting time on fixing our bugs :)

 ====== What you'll learn and make ======
-We are going to make some blinkly lights, fading mood lamp and sounds that react to changes in the environment including light levels and movement. Lots of concepts of the Arduino will be learnt on the way through the exercises and challenges.

 There'll be plenty of room to do your own thing along the way. If you're curious about something, give it a go and ask the helpers!
