Course Module 3

 

The topics explored in this course module are Microcontrollers and Programming. The low-cost and open-source Arduino platform is used for the hands-on practical activities.

 

Students learn the power of microcontrollers for virtually any application. The traffic light circuit that was implemented in the previous two course modules is re-created again, but this time using an Arduino microcontroller, thus demonstrating to the students the different options available for application development.

 

The e-mindset is addressed by providing students opportunity to make connections between the topics covered in this course module with real-world applications, and giving challenges for their curious minds to come up with new innovative applications of the concepts.
