Arduino Workshop 1!

Thank you to everyone who came to the first Arduno workshop tonight. Everyone was enthusiastic and eager to learn and that makes us excited for the future workshops and the competition!

The materials for the workshop are now posted on the Workshops page, under Arduino Workshop 1. Please don't hesitate to contact us with any questions you might have!

Workshop #1 TODAY!

We could not be more excited to kick off the Open Design Competition workshops! Just a few reminders about the workshop:
  • Bring a laptop
  • Bring $35 CASH or CHECK if you ARE purchasing a kit
  • Bring an Arduino Uno and USB cable if you are NOT purchasing a kit
  • Bring your friends!
  • FREE PIZZA!
The workshop will be held TODAY (Wednesday) in Scott 101 at 7:00pm. It's the big lecture hall on the right as soon as you walk in through the main entrance.

Oh yeah, the CSU IEEE chapter has an email account! We encourage you to send any and all questions pertaining to the competitions or IEEE in general to this account: csuieee@gmail.com

Some more updates we have been cooking up: we now have both a Twitch and YouTube account! This will allow us to stream the workshops LIVE for anyone to watch anywhere! Afterwards, the recording will be posted on YouTube for reference anytime! Rest assured we most certainly WILL be monitoring the chat during the workshop if anyone watching off-site has questions or comments. Of course, mind the 30ish second delay.

First Open Design Competition workshop!

The first workshop of the Fall is upon us! Here are the details: 

When: Wednesday, October 15, from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM
Where: Scott Bioengineering, Room 101

This first workshop will be an introduction to Arduino and to some basic electronics concepts. It is considered a beginner level workshop. 

If you are interested in learning about electronics and Arduino, please attend! Please also encourage anyone who might have such interests to come as well - the more the merrier, of course, and we would love to teach everyone we can! 

Additionally, if you purchased a kit, and have not yet picked it up, please bring $35 (cash or check) to the workshop so we can get you squared away. 

We hope to see you all soon!
