Intro To Raspberry Pi & Arduino Devices Class in Portland, Maine

Length: 3 hours

The course begins with an overview of the Raspberry Pi Pico and other low-cost single-board devices. Students will learn why the Pico is so popular while programming their own Raspberry Pi device to blink a light and sound a buzzer. We will end the course talking about the limitless potential the Pico has to communicate with other devices such as motors, screens and sensors of any kind.

Note: you will need to bring a computer – everything else will be provided.

Suzanne Wendelken is a biomedical engineer, physician, and lifelong tinkerer who has spent years building everything from research prototypes and medical devices to decidedly less practical projects at home. She enjoys 3D printing, electronics, Arduino, programming, wrenching, and figuring out how to make different technologies work together. Outside of work, she enjoys cycling, skiing, kayaking, painting, photography, and making things ranging from useful to completely unnecessary. She loves helping new makers get comfortable with unfamiliar tools and turn an idea into something they can actually hold in their hands.
