Jack and Julia learned how to use an Arduino to control 4 LEDs, using a joystick. They developed a basic understanding of the pins on an Arduino, the wiring required to set up a circuit, how to code an Arduino to function lights, and how to fade or blink a LED on command. At the end of the learning module, they were able to turn on a specific LED depending on the direction of the joystick.

Gia, Julia, and Kiki aimed to create a spider robot capable of walking, waving and dancing. Together they successfully built a functioning robot and learned about 3D printing, wiring,  how to use servos and code movements, GitHub and how to assemble the robot. Although they  faced challenges with the robot's left leg and individual defective servos, they found their experiences to be valuable despite the problems they encountered.
