About our projects

We have prepared a number of programmable electronics projects for educators based on the Shrimp, our Arduino-compatible breadboard layout.

Our projects are...

• Real-world applications (not merely technical experiments)
• Straightforward to construct following our online resources
• Designed as high-impact activities in their own right, but also to sustain exploratory lesson plans and to be further developed as term projects

Each of our projects has ...

• An introduction, offering orientation and motivation for the design and its benefits

• A graphical, step by step wiring guide, detailing each each component including...
  • its physical and logical features
  • its relationship to the rest of the circuit
  • any specific guidance needed to wire it in successfully
• A set of supporting resources including...
  • Example behaviours, pre-programmed software examples to control the circuit
  • Vector graphics, which we invite educators to freely remix and reuse
  • Troubleshooting steps outlining common mistakes
  • Suggestions for further development and finessing
• A sourcing guide, including...
  • buying prepared, bagged project kits from us
  • sourcing your own individual components wholesale
