Are you afraid of the dark? Use an arduino board and a few components to build a light sensor that can illuminate your room. 
  • WHAT I NEED?

    1
    Accessories

    Micro USB cable

    2
    Software
    mBlock

    Mblock is a programming environment that uses blocks to create the code and is based on Scratch. This software makes Arduino programming and developing interactive apps something easy to do.

    3
    Materials

    Color LED

    Electric resistor

    Protoboard

    Jumper wires

    LDR

  • If you dare to explore new ideas this will not be the end of the activity.
CLOQQ’s activities have been designed and made by an experienced team in creative technologies. These activities must be made with the support and supervision of an adult.
