CANVAS [Call for Participants] Summer Camp 2016 Programming Workshop Summer Camp 2016 Programming Workshop – Let’s Have Fun Creating Things with Programming and Electronics! – (Saturday, August 27, 2016) We’re now accepting waitlist sign-ups!
Using Scratch, Raspberry Pi, and electronics,
let’s experience programming that brings movement to all sorts of things—both on and off the screen!
Light up LEDs, spin motors, and make toys move.
Using the Raspberry Pi’s GPIO,
we’ll step out of the world of programming to control various real-world gadgets,
aiming to create things that go beyond just what’s on the screen.
Whether you’re a beginner looking to try your hand at programming,
or someone who loves making things through electronics—we welcome participants of all backgrounds!
