IMPORTANT!
Completion of this course earns a certificate for 3 units of elective credit. This certificate may be used to demonstrate academic enrichment and support school transcripts or applications.
Arduino is an easy-to-learn controller board widely used in robotics and across many industries for prototyping. It is an ideal beginner tool for creating exciting and meaningful science and engineering projects.
This course provides an engaging introduction to robotics and coding for students who want to understand how technology works at the hardware level — not just assemble pre-made kits.
In this hands-on class, students learn how to build and program real electronic and robotic systems using Arduino, a widely used open-source electronics platform.
Students work with sensors, motors, and microcontrollers to create projects that respond to inputs and produce useful outputs. The course introduces the Arduino IDE and programming language used to control electronic devices.
Projects may include controlling LEDs, activating motors, collecting sensor data, and understanding how hardware and software interact in real systems.
Many traditional school programs provide limited exposure to Arduino-based robotics, making this course an excellent opportunity to develop practical technical skills.
Benefits:
- Gain real coding and robotics experience not typically taught in local schools
- Build a portfolio demonstrating technical ability and initiative
- Small class size allows personalized guidance and more hands-on time
- Inspire future study and possible careers in engineering and technology
This course is an excellent starting point for students interested in robotics, engineering, electronics, or programming.

Learn the Basics of 3D Design and Printing Using Fusion 360
Fusion 360 is a powerful design tool used by engineers, designers, and innovators across many industries. In this hands-on course, students learn how to create digital 3D models and bring them to life using real 3D printers.
The goal is to design a model which, upon completion, the student will be taught to slice and load the print file onto the printer, thus completing the class 3D printing component. Students who do not complete the model design can work on their projects outside of class at home and after the course has ended. something many of our students do.
No prior experience is required. Students as young as 13 can begin designing and producing real objects right away.
What You’ll Learn:
- How to design 3D models using Fusion 360
- How to prepare files for 3D printing
- How to turn ideas into physical objects
Why It Matters:
- Useful for robotics, engineering, and creative projects
- Builds practical skills not typically taught in most schools
- Prepares students for college-level CAD and design programs
- Demonstrates technical ability for college applications and portfolios
Fusion 360 is used in industries such as:
- Engineering
- Robotics
- Mechatronics
- Biotechnology design
- Automotive design
- Product design
- Aerospace
- Medical technology
And many others
Learning Fusion 360 is a practical way to develop creative problem-solving skills while gaining experience with tools used in professional environments.
