Arduino Programming - Introduction College Certificate

What is special about this course?

An introductory programming course for those with no coding experience. This course teaches you the fundamentals of the “C” programming language – an industry standard. It is a good foundation to build you coding experience on. You will also learn some basic electronics and about interfacing sensors and other transducers to a computer.

 

The Arduino is a small “stand alone” computer which is also an excellent “invention machine” for creating business ideas which could lead to the creation of your own company.
