Event Details

Chase away the winter blues and welcome the greens of spring during Mead Library's annual WinterGreen festival.

Measuring Sunlight with a Photoresistor and the Arduino Uno with Isabel Mendiola of Gearbox Labs
Join Isabel Mendiola from Gearbox Labs as she presents a project that measures light intensity. Using a photoresistor, Arduino Uno, and computer coding, she will show you how to build the digital prototype. You will build the project in Tinkercad and write the code to make the photoresistor work.   

Please register for a free Tinkercad account at www.tinkercad.com before the workshop.  

*This project can be completed digitally using a free Tinkercad.com account.  Mead Library will also have circulating Arduino kits that will have the parts needed to build this project.  Isabel's book, The ARDUINO Classroom: STEAM accompanies the circulating kits, and can be checked out separately.

**Registration is limited.  You will be emailed the Zoom link on March 19, the day before WinterGreen.
