A Conversation with Duric
SINDA’s programme and robotics classes help children understand the basic principles of computer science and digital literacy. Arduino is an open-source electronics platform that is able to read inputs and turn it into an actionable output. In this workshop, our participants used mBlock for Arduino to code and programme their boards to perform various functions. They were able to understand the concepts of computational thinking and block-based coding techniques and learned how to create a traffic light system!
