Learners will explore the world of sensors and their crucial role in creating interactive and responsive systems. By learning how to interface different sensors with Arduino, students will gain a deeper understanding of how to collect and process environmental data. This week focuses on basic sensors like temperature, light, and ultrasonic sensors, which are essential in many IoT (Internet of Things) applications.
The course emphasizes hands-on, project-based learning, with students working virtually to simulate circuits and program sensor-driven projects using Scratch for Arduino. By the end of the week, learners will be able to integrate multiple sensors to create a functional project, such as a smart lighting system or a temperature-controlled environment.
Key Concepts Covered:
- Understanding the role of sensors in interactive systems.
- Introduction to temperature, light, and ultrasonic sensors.
- Programming sensors with Scratch for Arduino.
