Work in Progress
Plug your microcontroller into your Raspberry Pi workstation and get ready. This section is all about learning by doing.
The goal of these labs is to get you familiar with a piece of hardware or a particular coding technique. They produce a result, but it’s not always super interesting on its own. The idea is to take what you learn in these labs and apply it to a larger project.
Labs are ordered from simple to more complex, but feel free to tackle them in any order you wish.
These labs focus on multiple development iterations to do something useful. They combine and build on the concepts in the Learning Labs to make something new. Most will guide you through the first steps and leave the last bit for you to figure out on your own.
You’re working for the city. Your job is to install traffic signals to keep the citizens safe.
Grab some Hot Wheels cars and let’s see how fast they go.
Build a weather station that measures temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure. Make predictions on what tomorrow’s weather will be based on the information you gather.
If you’ve ever wondered how those adorable cat pictures get to your web browser, this series of labs will show how it works.
Keep your classroom lab comfortable year round with home automation. Just kidding! The school will never let you control the HVAC system, but it’s fun to pretend.
