Start with the fundamentals of Arduino hardware. You’ll learn what a microcontroller is, how to wire up circuits on a breadboard, and how to upload your first simple code using the Arduino IDE. Projects may include blinking LEDs, basic buttons, and simple sensors.
On March 10th, the SELA Youth Executive Board (YEB) presented to Huntington Park to share the vision for the SELA Youth Hub — a regional effort to create supportive spaces and opportunities for young people across Southeast LA. Youth leaders shared personal stories about why investing in youth leadership matters, and the City expressed their […]
This session takes it up a notch. Learn how to connect and program motors and sensors like motion detectors or temperature sensors. You’ll combine code and circuitry to make a small interactive system—like a fan that turns on with a clap or a sensor that lights up LEDs.
Welcome to the 3D Game Builders Academy! We're excited to offer a hands-on game design camp during LAUSD Spring Break, designed specifically for students in grades 3rd–5th.
