What is Arduino?
Arduino is an open hardware and software system that uses physical and digital influence to create and control an electronic reaction through the use of circuits and other electrical components. Some fo these components are things such as wires, buttons, tiny lights, and capacitors. The kit we used was the Arduino Uno and it was designed to help beginners, like myself, learn more about electronic coding and the cool things you can do with it.

Summary
Throughout this unit, I learned many things. One of which was time management. With the entire working from home thing, it was hard to do some of these projects because they take a while. This led to me procrastinating, and I wish I hadn't. Along the way, I also ran into some bumps with my coding and even discovery of broken pieces in my kit, but I attended virtual chats with Mr. W and was able to figure those things out.
Going into the unit, I knew it was going to be hard. I know that I am not very good at electronic coding and wiring, but this helped me gain a bit more confidence in myself and feel better about coding breadboards and circuit.
