Adventures In Arduino

Adventures in Arduino is the perfect book for young people who want to learn how to program the Arduino but need a little heads-up on where to begin. The Adventures series has been specifically designed to appeal to young people as they begin their adventures with technology, with a layout that will appeal to school age students and carefully tailored projects which allow them to learn while having fun.

Based on 9 fun projects that start at the most rudimentary level of how to plug the board in and get it work, the book assumes no previous computing knowledge and explains concepts other books presume that the reader will already know. Through the projects, the young reader will pick up the skills to make the most of their Arduino and, more importantly, to understand the basic programming and concepts that they can then apply on other projects and devices. Each chapter will be accompanied by a video that will back up the lessons from the project and ensure the reader has all the support they need.

Authored by Arduino expert Becky Stewart, Adventures in Arduino is written specifically for the self-teaching 11- to 15-year old who wants to learn how to set up and play with the Arduino.

Becky Stewart founded Codasign, a London education company that teaches Arduino and other technology skills to young people. She documents her engineering work at http://blog.theleadingzero.com/.
