[Noisebridge-discuss] Arduino Coding Dojo - a recipe from Brazil

[Luciano Ramalho]

Hi, all!

At Garoa Hacker Clube [0], the hackerspace in São Paulo, Brazil, we
tweaked the methodology of a Coding  Dojo (active training for
programmers) to introduce Arduino programming and hardware hacking.

This activity has been presented very successfully many times in our
hackerspace, and also at conferences and in university and high-school
classrooms. It's very engaging, encourages active participation and is
a great way to show how easy and fun it is to get started with Arduino
programming.

I will be in San Francisco to speak at PyCon USA [1] from March 12 to
21, and I'd love to run a session of Arduino Coding Dojo at
Noisebridge, if there is interest.

Usually it takes from 40 to 60 minutes for the challenge to be
presented and solved. Let me know if you are up to it!

Cheers,

Luciano
