High school volunteers are teaching Arduino + Python programming to middle schoolers this summer — completely free. Your donation funds the kits, lab space, and materials that make it happen.

Near-age mentors are more relatable, approachable, and effective. High schoolers explain concepts in ways that click for younger students.
Every lesson involves physical circuits and real Python code — not simulations. Students build things that blink, beep, and move on day one.
Zero cost to families. Your donations cover every Arduino, sensor, breadboard, and supply so no student is left out due to finances.
Our high school instructors develop curriculum, presentation, and mentorship skills — real experience that matters for college apps and careers.
Every $50 puts a full Arduino starter kit in a student's hands. Every student we reach is a future engineer, creator, or problem-solver.
Absolute beginners welcome. We start from zero — no prior coding or electronics knowledge required. Just curiosity and a willingness to try.
Each Saturday session is 3 hours of guided, project-based learning. Students leave every week with something they built themselves.
Unbox the Arduino, set up the IDE, and blink your first LED. Understand how electricity, pins, and digital signals work.
Variables, loops, and functions in Python. Write your first scripts that will later communicate with hardware.
Use PySerial to send commands from Python to your board. Control LEDs and buzzers from a Python script.
Connect temperature, light, and distance sensors. Read their values in Python and react to the real world.
Drive motors and servos from Python. Build a Python-controlled mini robot arm with servo positioning.
Log sensor readings to CSV files and visualize them live with Matplotlib. Turn raw data into beautiful graphs.
Build a simple Flask web app that displays live sensor data in a browser. Show your project to friends and family.
Build your own IoT project from scratch and present it to parents, volunteers, and the community. Celebrate your work!
All instructors are high school students who volunteered their summer to give younger kids the coding education they wish they'd had earlier.
"I never thought I'd be able to build something that actually works. Now I have a weather station sitting on my desk that I coded myself."
