Glow Your Own Coding Workshop 4 (2 June 2021)
This fourth revival workshop created a flashing light sequence using touch
Session 4: the team have reconnected their Arduinos and developed new projects with people of all ages. Dust off your Arduino, open Tinkercad and get coding again! In this fourth monthly GYO ‘revival’ workshop, we created a flashing light sequence controlled by touch, and thought about ideas for new projects.
Watch these two short videos for inspiration for next month’s light-up sculpture:
Sculpture inspiration: jellyfish Sculpture inspiration: grass patch
To take part in these activities, you’ll need a laptop and an Arduino starter kit, with our recommendation below:
