Lab Kit
The Wednesday curriculum, lab assignments, and homework are based on individual hands-on exercises with Arduino boards and electronic components. Therefore, it is necessary for each individual student to have his/her own lab kit. The $75.00 Course kit includes the following and additional prototyping materials:
