Basics of an Atom5:31
Explore the basics of atoms, including protons, neutrons, and electrons, and learn how electricity forms from electron movement. Compare conductors and insulators, and see how these ideas lead to circuits.
Circuits6:15
Explore basic circuits with Arduino by building closed loops with a power source, conductive material, and outputs, learn how switches control flow and how microcontrollers switch LEDs on and off.
Different types of circuits3:50
Explore series and parallel circuits, how a fault affects the loop, and real-life examples like Christmas lights.
Current, Voltage and Resistance6:54
Explore how current, voltage, and resistance shape circuits, showing how higher resistance lowers current and how voltage pushes electrons through a resistor and LED.
Ohm's law
PRACTICAL: Making a simple circuit3:43
Demonstrates a practical simple circuit with a battery, battery pack, resistor, and lcd display, showing how polarity, continuity, and current flow produce a glowing indicator.
Chapter one quiz

Breadboard4:55
Learn how a breadboard powers and connects an Arduino circuit, explore component roles like LCD screens, resistors, and motors, and practice correct wiring across rails.
LED2:05
Learn how a light emitting diode (LED) works, identify its polarity by leg length and the flat edge, and understand that it conducts current in only one direction.
Resistors4:51
Learn how resistance affects current and LED brightness by color-band codes and ohm calculations, with examples of 220 ohm and 10k resistors.
Calculating resistor value0:03
Button/Switch2:32
Explore how a push button closes and opens a circuit, allowing current to flow when pressed and stopping it when released, demonstrated with an LCD and batteries.
DC Motor & Servo Motor4:30
Learn how a dc motor converts electrical energy to rotational motion, connects to a circuit, and how reversing polarity changes spin direction; see how servo motors enable precise positioning.
Potensiometer2:37
Learn how a potentiometer controls voltage and current in a circuit, changing a dc motor's speed and led brightness by twisting the knob and using a resistor.
Piezo2:25
Explore how a piezo buzzer works by vibrating a ceramic membrane to produce sound. Learn to control frequency and tone with current and build a piano with buttons.
Chapter two quiz

Microcontroller2:21
Explore what a microcontroller is, why we need one, and how an integrated circuit and the Arduino board package a microcontroller with beginner-friendly pins and an interface for beginners.
Downloading Arduino IDE2:46
Download the Arduino IDE from the official site, choose your operating system (Windows, Linux, Mac), and follow the step-by-step instructions to install and open the application.
Arduino.cc step by step guide
Buying a kit0:48
Anatomy of an Arduino4:12
Explore the anatomy of an Arduino, from the USB port and reset button to digital and analog pins, the microcontroller, and 5V and ground power basics.
Working with the Arduino IDE5:40
Explore the Arduino IDE by examining a blank sketch, learn inputs and outputs, digital vs analog signals, and how to blink a built-in LCD output in a practical circuit.
Schematics for projects0:11
Practical with Arduino10:27

Button and Piezo music keyboard12:52
Build a tiny button-driven music keyboard using a piezo speaker and a parallel resistive network; read voltages with an analog input and map them to piano frequencies via Arduino code.
Write a message on a LCD12:16
Write a name on an lcd using arduino and the liquid crystal library, wiring the lcd to pins and a potentiometer to adjust brightness, printing on two lines.
Chapter four quiz

Schematics and code0:08
Fever sensor PART 115:12
students assemble a fever-detection project using an Arduino board, temperature sensor, lcd display, and led indicators, wiring on a breadboard and preparing for coding in part 2.
Fever sensor PART 214:58
Program and test an Arduino fever sensor by reading a temperature sensor, establishing a base temperature, and triggering a fever alert on the lcd when it exceeds 42 degrees Celsius.

Description

This course is designed for parents who want to accelerate futuristic technology for their children and future-proof their careers. We have a series of courses called the HIGH-5 K2K collection that teaches skills such as Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, Design Thinking, Product Design, and 3D Printing. Kid to Kid is an effective learning model as kids get motivated by other kids easily. When content is taught by a kid, they can easily connect, and it puts them in the mindset "I can do it too!". This course is the first one in the series and is for all ages above 10.

Our course starts with the basic principles of science such as Atoms and Electricity then moves on to cover electronics such as the different components in a circuit and how it works. We also cover the fundamentals of a microcontroller and students thoroughly learn how to work with an Arduino and how to code. All lectures have engaging content which is easy for a kid to follow. The course has a range of practical lessons where we guide students step by step on how to fritz on a breadboard and bring it to life with code. Quizzes and extension assignments are also provided frequently to enrich the students learning experience. The course helps students to learn in the right mindset and to be fully engaged. This is a great course for parents to give their kids a head start in learning robotics with an Arduino.
