CERN Accelerating science

Recurring Arduino workshops at IdeaSquare

Using electronic tools for rapid prototyping, and programming for hardware projects and the big world of Internet-of-Things, is possible if you know how to interface an Arduino. This microcontroller board can represent diverse objects connected to the Internet, for example, traffic lights, air quality monitors, or presence detectors.
