Advance your skills and learn to build something that blinks, moves, flies, buzzes, drives. We provide you with all the parts and knowledge to help you make something.
Most Classes benefit from having your own laptop (tablets not suitable). We will teach you how to write code, program microcontrollers, and make electronics do things!

Learn the skills to assemble and program this project and then set up the voice activation. Your smart home awaits you.
Ping. See ultrasound and Time Of Flight TOF light sensors in action. Make your own electronic measuring tape and measure distances and display them on a screen or control something with them.
Steaming Web Camera and Face Recognition. So many uses for this project, from making a video doorbell to keeping an eye on your sneaky cat.
Keep forgetting to water that indoor plant you got as a special gift. With a moisure sensor you can get notified on your phone when you need to water the plant so you never forget! Why not put more outside link it up to the sprinker system and have your whole garden water itself!
Knowing how hard you are pushing on something is useful for so many projects. From force feedback to measuring load on bridges, cranes. Upgrade your broken home scales into IOT scales.
Get things moving with this detailed class on motor control. Learn how servo, dc, stepper and even AC motors work and how to get the to do your bidding. Whether you are making a robot arm, car, anamatronic costume and more.
Display information or even make a game like snake. Why not use a touchscreen for touch interactive gaming or display pictures. This project is a bit more involved taking longer to complete and costs more to take home. +$20
With the MAX30102 you can measure your heart rate and oxygen levels. Make your own fitness tracker or measure just how scary that movie is.
Build your own autonomous robot. Learn to program it to avoid obsticles, follow lines and do your bidding. This project is a bit more involved taking longer to complete and costs more to take home.
Can't decide which project to do? That's ok, just book and you can choose a different project on the day
