Hands-On Electronics
Tinker with electronics while learning the basics of computer programming.  The program will begin by experimenting with the fundamentals of electronics and circuitry, and step up to projects where the class of young makers will design their own interactive and programmable devices.  Participants use the latest tools including Arduino (for building interactive devices) and Raspberry Pi (for learning about computers and coding) to experiment with LEDs, resistors, motors and programming.  Each class gives participants a chance to design a hand-on project with the guidance of skilled Circuit Lab instructors.

APP Inventors
Want to know how the apps work on your phone or iPad?  Or do you already have the next great app idea, and just need to know how to make it?  In this no-experience required course, we use MIT App Inventor software to make fun, creative apps for Android phones and tablets.  Participants will learn both the programming and design aspects of creating great apps, and have the opportunity to build apps of their own design with the support of Circuit Lab instructors.

Location:  Mattera Cabin, 1481 Main Street, Reading
