I would definitely be interested in this! I have an arduino starter kit but have only gotten as far as blinking LEDs, so a beginner class would be really great for me. Let me know if you move forward with it as an evening or weekend class.<br>

I've finally quit my "day" job to make room for full time teaching and<br>
leading workshops on tinkering, electronics, Arduino, and contraption<br>
building.fields<br>
<br>
At a BBQ yesterday I mentioned this to a couple of fellows from NB, who<br>
suggested I do some Arduino teaching at NB. I had presumed that Arduino<br>
classes were being offered at NB, even though I couldn't recall hearing<br>
about a regularly scheduled event.<br>
<br>
So I put this out to you: Would there be interest in a regular weekly<br>
Arduino class?<br>
<br>
Here's what I have in mind:<br>
<br>
2 hour Arduino class:<br>
<br>
First hour, aimed at beginners, is a crash course in basic electronics,<br>
basic programming, and basic install of Arduino IDE on your laptop.<br>
<br>
Second hour presumes everyone knows the basics, and explores a more<br>
advanced topic, such as I2C communication between two Arduinos,<br>
interfacing to Processing and/or The Internet, or multitasking. Thus,<br>
people who already know the basics can simply show up for the second
hour.<br>
<br>
Of course as we see what the needs and interests are we can vary the<br>
ratio of time as necessary.<br>
<br>
I could bring a couple of loaner laptops and Arduinos, and as we are an<br>
official Arduino distributor I can also sell Arduinos.<br>
<br>
Would there be interest in this?<br></div></div>
