What is Arduino?
Arduino consists of a computer coding software, paired with a kit that includes a breadboard with many wires, resistors, and other components. We did 12 total projects this semester, all using different components of the Arduino kit. Some functions of an Arduino board can be displaying text, running a timer, turning on a sequence of lights, or even sensing a change in temperature. I'm sure there are also many more complicated uses for the Arduino, and we were only scratching the surface.

What I Learned
Throughout the semester I completed many different Arduino projects. During this process I learned how to code, what different commands are and their functions. Also I learned how to control the flow of electricity across a breadboard, and the functions of many different components. I also learned how to troubleshoot issues that came up, both in my code, and in the build. From the first project to the last I learned something new from every one.
