Teaching STEM and Programming Using Arduino: Purpose Agenda

The document outlines a course to teach STEM and programming using Arduino. The 5-day course introduces educators to the Arduino microcontroller, programming with the Arduino IDE, and creating simple standalone projects using components like LEDs, buttons, motors and sensors. Each day covers hands-on activities and concepts like digital and analog input/output, breadboarding, and using timers. The goal is to provide teachers with the skills and knowledge to incorporate Arduino into their own classroom curriculum.
