Workshop Virtual Engineering, Electronics, and Coding Adv

FREE

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 the Introduction and Intermediate to Tinkercad workshops with us before taking this one or have experience working with Tinkercad circuits.
