Weekly · Fridays

A new build every week, and every build goes home.

A 9-week hybrid course: two weeks online, then one week in person in Sugar Land, three times through. Students build something new every week (from a Morse code blinker to a remote-controlled mashup) and take every project home. Online classes are 60 minutes; in-person classes are 90 minutes.

Included

What's included

  • 9 weeks: 6 online (60 min) + 3 in person (90 min)
  • $30 per class, billed $90 before weeks 1, 4 and 7
  • A take-home build every week

Arduino kit required (yours to keep)

Purchase one from our team for $30 when you register, or purchase your own Arduino starter kit on Amazon before camp (usually a bit more expensive). One kit covers both Thanksgiving camps.

Bring a Windows or Mac laptop.

Chromebooks and iPads will not work because they can't run the Arduino and Python software we use. School-issued laptops often block installs, so check before camp.

Before Day 1 checklist

  • A Windows or Mac laptop with its charger. Chromebooks and iPads will NOT work.
  • Install Arduino IDE 2 (free) from arduino.cc/en/software before week 1.
  • For online weeks: a quiet spot, the laptop, and the Arduino kit. The video link is sent before each class.
  • Arduino starter kit (purchased from our team, or your own).
