Get Hacking with Arduino!
Limited Capacity filling up
Link to Resources
During this session participants will learn what Arduino is, how to get started with it, and build some basic projects! Using the Arduino software's built-in examples, you'll learn how to connect the Arduino to a computer, wire up a circuit on a breadboard, and grok the code that makes it all work.

Bring a laptop if you have it to use the official Arduino software and program Arduinos! If you've only got a Chromebook, we can make that work. If you only have a tablet or phone, come anyway but be prepared to share!

Orchestrating an Effective STEM Academic Night
Limited Capacity seats available
During this session each participant will learn how to create and organize a successful Academic STEM Night or Day at their school. A brief Google Slide Show will give an overview of the critical importance of providing STEM opportunities for young people. Participants will then break out into the 13 different hands on and engaging  STEM activity stations. Following the activities, participants will debrief and receive a link to all of the activiies and the Google Slide Presentation. You will be ready to host your own Academic STEM Night or Day. Special thanks to our middle school and high school volunteers for guiding each STEM station.
