Course description

"Basics of Arduino Programming with Tinkercad" is a hands-on introductory course designed to teach students, hobbyists, and beginners how to program and simulate Arduino circuits using Tinkercad's free online platform. The course starts with a simple walkthrough of Tinkercad and progresses to essential electronics concepts and practical programming tasks.

You’ll learn how to connect components virtually, write simple codes for sensors and LEDs, and use a breadboard for organizing circuits. The course culminates in a guided project to build and simulate an automatic door sensor.

Whether you’re looking to explore embedded systems, start your journey into electronics, or teach STEM, this course offers a solid foundation—all in a no-risk, virtual environment.
