DESCRIPTION: This class combines both 3D printing and the creation and use of Microcontrollers which are very small (credit card size) semi-computers which can be programmed to accept signals from sensors and respond by controlling motors, lights etc and are ideal for making basic automated cars or robots.
An example of what is possible is given at (copy the URL into your web browser for information):

Microcontroller boards are not expensive with the Arduino types being only $5 to $10. The combined course could cover electronics (wiring and assembly of components), programming of the microcontroller and 3D printing of any required components.
