|'''Arduino 101'''

This session started with the setup of the Arduino software on a laptop and then connection to an Arduino and downloading a simple sketch. The first sketch was a simple blink of the onboard LED. This then progressed to wiring in an external LED and a pair of LEDs, to reproduce the electronics 'flip-flop' from a few weeks ago. We then moved on to a traffic light sequence and for the more advanced decoding a numeric keypad and use of an ultrasonic distance sensor.<br/>

|'''3D-modeling with cardboard and glue guns''' - This session is in two parts: the first, crafting with hand-cut corrugated cardboard to make hats, helmets and masks, the main points are shaping structure from flat sheets, reinforcement and ease of major modifications; the second, assembling a number of precut models, to show that a 3D model represented in a computer can be produced with different construction techniques, layered slices, radial slices.  Finally, the attendees saw the laser cutter cutting one of the models, to show its just a quicker/more accurate scissiors. <br />

|'''Basic electrical circuits''' - This week's challenge was to build a circuit that flashes two LEDs on and off. The children were provided with breadboards, resistors, capacitors, transistors, wires and battery packs. A circuit diagram was provided, but the children had to figure out how to map the circuit diagram to pins on the breadboard. Most families succeeded in the challenge though some of the younger children had fun just getting LEDs to light up in simpler circuits. One family went on to solder their circuit, make use of the soldering station available at Makespace while others connected their circuits to oscilloscopes. <br />
