Flex Sensors with Arduino

We will guide you through the flex sensor interactive activity in the Sparkfun Inventor's Guide for Arduino.

Explore the physical world of electrical circuits using Arduino, an open-source platform for physical computing design, to make experimenting with electronics more intuitive and fun. This program introduces you to electric circuits via the SparkFun Inventor's Guide for Arduino which features 16 different circuit exercises to explore. A flex sensor is a simple circuit to measure "bend" or "flex." Patrons will learn how the flex sensor effects a servo motors position by bending it. Limited to 8 participants. 

This program was designed for 4th grade through 12th grade, but younger children may attend if an adult is present to assist them. Children in sixth grade or younger must be directly supervised by a responsible parent, guardian, or caregiver while in the Studio. Supervising adults do not need to register for the program. 

Space is limited: Register in advance to reserve your spot and receive reminders. Registration will guarantee your seat until the event begins.
