Interested in learning something new and helping us improve our event offerings? Join us for a Test Event!

At Seattle Makers, we have a lot of ideas for classes, events and seminars. Test Events give us an opportunity to practice sharing these ideas with you, before they hit the regular schedule. As attendees, you play a crucial role in helping us define areas for improvement and figure out how best to carry out these events in the future. Your honest feedback is essential to creating a roster of useful and enjoyable events at Seattle Makers! A test event may cover a range of topics from design talks to electronics classes.

Ticket prices are discounted as these events are still in their trial phase.

This test event is: Arduino 101

This is an absolute beginner class to using an Arduino. No coding or electronics experience necessary! We will have extra Arduinos for people to borrow or purchase to use in class.

In this class we will go over what Arduino is, how to use the Arduino IDE, how to blink an LED (light), how to read a button press and a potentiometer (knob) and how to control a servo (Robotics / RC motor).

You will need to bring: Your laptop with the appropriate Arduino IDE software. Navigate to: https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software and download the appropriate Arduino IDE for Windows,
Mac OS X, or Linux. Install on your laptop and you’ll be ready to go.
If you have trouble with the download, arrive 15 minutes early, and we can try to help you with the install.

Minimum Age: 11 y/o with guardian.
