Arduino
Arduino is a coding software where they make breadboards which is a physical programmable circuit board. They use coding to put inputs into the breadboard which then activates an output from the breadboard . You can use different tools to connect to the breadboard and code it to do different things. In these projects we coded the bread board to do a wide variety of things including read temperature, make a router spin, and make something like a magic 8 ball. Arduino was designed for many different people including students to even engineers. This easy to use software makes it easy for beginners to use

Conclusion
In conclusion I learned a lot by doing arduino. Originally I thought that I wasn't going to like doing arduino and that it was going to be very hard to do arduino. This also may have been because I have never coded something to actually do something before so these projects looked really complicated at first. However I was wrong and after the first few projects most of the projects weren't that hard to code or setup. However during this project I learned to read closely and make sure to check over the code before redoing the breadboard. Because often times I thought that I didn't have my bread board set up correctly when my coding was actually the thing that was wrong. I also learned to read the little paragraphs next to the coding in the book because at the beginning I didn't do this. But when I started reading the sides it all started to make more sense. Lastly I didn't realize how many things you could make by using arduino, I was really surprised with the wide variety of projects that we had to make.
