Introduction to Microcontrollers for Educators
Today we are talking about a new SparkFun class offering called "Introduction to Microcontrollers for Educators."Over the course of this two day class, we will also discuss making teaching tools, soldering or sewing electronics and tapping into free Open Source Educational communities. You'll learn skills you can apply in your classroom whether you teach High School, Middle School or even Elementary School! Topics we will cover in this class include: Electrical Schematic Basics Using a Multimeter How the SparkFun Inventor's Kit Circuits Work Sensors and Outputs Soldering or Sewing Electronics Beginning Programming Concepts Differentiated Programming Environments Basic Serial Communication for Troubleshooting Virtual Prototyping (for those who wish to move beyond the kit) Various Projects for Getting Students Excited Furthermore, this class is good for 1.0 Semester Credit Hour through Colorado School of Mines with an additional payment of $50.00 to be paid at the time of the class. So you've got that going for you - which is nice. The class takes place on March 31st and April 1st, 2012 from 9 AM to 5 PM right here at SparkFun HQ. Hope to see you there!...
