If you want to build things like a robot, a portable game console, or a 3D printer — then you'd most likely want to use a microcontroller.

A microcontroller is kinda like a mini-computer that you can give instructions to — to make it do what you want.

One of the easiest ways to get started with microcontrollers is using the Arduino board. With the Arduino, you can easily connect things like buttons, LEDs, mini speakers, or displays.

And it’s pretty easy to program it, once you understand the basics.

In this course, you’ll learn how the get started with Arduino. You’ll also get lots of examples to play around with so that you’ll end up with a wide set of new skills.
