Workshop Virtual Engineering, Electronics, and Coding Intro

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.
