Arduino is an open source programmable circuit software + board that can be integrated into a wide variety of makerspace projects both simple and complex. This board contains a microcontroller which is able to be programmed to sense and control objects in the physical world. By responding to sensors and inputs, the Arduino is able to interact with a large array of outputs such as LEDs, motors and displays. The course is a mix of theory and practice. After learning the basics, students will be able to make circuits (buzzer, sound sensor, motor+fan circuits, traffic light, and more complicated digital circuits of their choice)

Students will learn essential skills like designing and slicing models to prepare them for printing and how to operate 3D printers effectively.
SUIS Scouts
CCA objectives:
1.Develop girls' leadership skills and character.
2.Foster outdoor adventure and environmental stewardship.
3.Promote community service
4.Encourage healthy living and well-being.
5. Build a network of support and sisterhood.
First Girl Scouts (GS) troop was founded in 1912 by Juliette Gordon Low, and consisted of 18 girls who all shared a sense of curiosity and a belief that they could do anything. Nowadays, GS focuses on holistic development in a continuous journey (path from daisies to ambassadors). Outcome: Skill development, confidence and empowerment, community engagement, etc. + Scholarships and Educational Opportunities: Many universities and organizations offer scholarships specifically for Girl Scouts, recognizing the valuable skills and experiences they have acquired. This semester we will have an introductory (not-registered troop). If there is an increased interest and active involvement of parents or teachers to become co-leaders, we will open an official GS in SUIS QP. Collaboration within the community members is a key. We will have a variety of art, STEM, health and wellbeing activities.
