Workshop Virtual Engineering, Electronics, and Coding Interm

FREE - OPEN to ALL

Join us for five live classes on Engineering and coding using Tinkercad circuits and the Arduino Uno.

These classes are live and virtual will be delivered by Isabel Mendiola and Peter Haydock from Gearbox Labs in English.

Explore the digital prototyping, DC circuits, physical computing and more.

It is recommended that you take one of the Intro to Tinkercad workshops before taking this one or have experience working with Tinkercad circuits.

Explore the world of Arduino connected sensors and CAD, engineering design, and coding with Gearbox Labs. This live and virtual workshop will be delivered by Isabel Mendiola and Peter Haydock.
