Kiki W worked with David C to learn how to use arduinos. They learned about the functions of the arduino and breadboard. The projects they worked on were making an LED blink, using LEDs to turn on when at a certain distance, and using a motion sensor and distance sensor simultaneously. They tried to use the distance sensor to transfer data to a graph, but they ran out of time.
