Arduino practical programming and electronics By Rhys Wilson

Who am I? A biotechnologist A STEM co-ordinator … Certainly not a programmer.

Then why am I here? Free coffee And also to talk about Arduino and how I use it as a hobby and how I will teach others through it.

What is Arduino? An open source chipset Programmed with a c++ language Referred to as a “prototyping” board Cheap! Compatible with the Raspberry pi

What can you do with it?

What am I doing with it? Teaching 2 sixth form students about: chromatography Electronics Programming product design By building a gas chromatograph

But…

Let STEMnet help We can’t buy you one But we can get STEM Ambassadors from: Software design Electronic engineering Process plants Let us show your students how ideas go from Arduino prototypes to multimillion pound products and processes.

How can we do that? We have over 600 Ambassadors from industry We have over 10 years of experience All of our Ambassadors are DBS checked We’re free (that’s right, no charge)

How does it work? Brace yourself for a very complicated flow chart You set up an event or session You tell us about it We find suitable Ambassadors Ambassadors let us know if they can attend We put the Ambassadors in contact with you

That’s all folks
