In Terms 3 and 4, the Year 9 Students learnt how to code using Arduino, which is an open-source electronics platform that allows you to create almost anything!
Core class 9C had the opportunity to wire and code LED strip Mood Lamps. The project began with students learning the fundamentals of C++ code. They put their creativity and ICT skills to work by using Adobe Illustrator to design a base and frame for their Mood Lamp.
After painting and assembling, students were able to manipulate the coding to change the colours and timing of multiple light effects to produce a uniquely individual Mood Lamp.
