Programming the Ideal Smart Home: Coding with Snakes and Sensors

Science Camp

Ever wanted to control your house lights, or make your fan turn on automatically? How about creating an alarm system to keep your little sister out of your room? All you need are some sensors and a little programming knowledge.

This camp will introduce the student to the basics of Python programming, working with micro-computers and how to read and control “smart” home sensors. Each student will use and keep their own microbit computer and develop a smart home project. No prior coding experience is needed.
