Troubleshooting
If at any point your project is not working and you can't figure out why (it's okay, I guarantee this WILL happen!), refer to Chapter 7 of Getting Started with Arduino, or the Troubleshooting section of the Arduino website for assitance.
Materials
All materials will be made available to you, but if you wish, you may use your own. If you will use your own laptop, you will need to download the Arduino software (or use their web editor instead), and optionally download the Fritzing software (which is helpful in making schematics). If you want to purchase your own hardware to work on your project at home, you can buy Arduino boards and components from various sources online; I suggest buying the Arduino Sidekick or Arduino Starter Kit.
Project Ideas
When it comes time for you to choose a project to build, you are encouraged to be creative and create your own project. However, if you are not sure what to do, or want to find a similar project to use as a starting point, you may use these resources for project ideas. Click on the buttons below to view them:

Coding Assistance & Arduino Simulator
Scratch 4 Arduino is a modification to Arduino that is very helpful to learning the basics of coding structure. Follow the steps in the video below to try it out!

Did you know you can virtually code and build Arduino projects online? Check out Tinkercad Circuits. It's free to create an account, and is a great way to practice coding, virtually build your Arduino circuit (without worrying about faulty components, etc), and test the functionality of your project. This will allow you to work on your project outside the classroom, if you don't have your Arduino kit with you.
