Arduino classes

[bpamplin]

@Hamster - I’ve been running two or three Arduino-ish classes a month. They do fill quickly so its good to check the Event Calendar every day or two. At the top you can filter by Electronics or Arduino. I always flag my classes as both. Here is a list to most of them. The second link is to all my class presentations and programs.

There are five other teachers that have run microcontroller classes within the last year. They offer classes less often but are excellent and also fill quickly.

@bwgrimm - I have somehow become the unofficial cheerleader for anyone who mentions they might teach an electronics related class. I have run almost 40 Arduino-ish classes at DMS and would be very happy to help in any way I can. The microcontroller area is rich in possible subjects for classes and there is a lot of demand for these classes from members and others that watch our calendar. This may be interesting:

Thoughts on developing and running a class

While helping several teachers-to-be develop electronics classes, I throw out quite a few suggestions. I’ve been asked to make a list which follows. Some items may be controversial. I look forward to your view. Let’s be civil and expand this thread into a list of additional things that we think is useful in developing and running a class. Much of this, like slide presentation info, may not apply to other areas. I hope some thoughts here may be helpful. When you are ready to submit a class…

A real challenge is at the beginning of lab time and trying to get Arduino, driver and libraries installed for everyone. Last night, for the first time, I moved from conventional installation to providing a Portable installation for everyone with libraries and demo programs pre-installed. While it needs some improvement, student response was good and I will be using it with all future classes.
