This is a workshop for people who have never used an Arduino before, but are curious and would like to spend a few hours exploring this fascinating tool. We don't assume any programming or electronics knowledge, so don't worry if this is completely new to you! Similarly, the course is designed to also accommodate people who have dabbled with electronics or programming before. | This is a workshop for people who have never used an Arduino before, but are curious and would like to spend a few hours exploring this fascinating tool.

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 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 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 :) | 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.
