I teach Arduino workshops at Tinkermill, our local maker space, to members from 8 years old to 80 years old. Some in my workshop are retired electrical engineers with 50 years of experience and some aren’t sure which end of a soldering iron to use.
I find one of the most confusing activities for my students new to Arduinos, electronics and physical computing, is figuring out the jumper wires between the Arduino and the solderless breadboard. This often gets in the way of a quick, successful project that builds confidence and helps accelerate the student up the learning curve.
