Arduino (Physical Computing) Unit 1 - Intro To Physical Computing

This unit introduces students to the basic concepts of physical computing and electronics. It aims to help students understand key ideas like how computers can sense and control the physical world. Students will learn about voltage, current, resistance, and Ohm's law. They will explore what circuits are and how they work through non-programming exercises and a paper circuits project. The unit seeks to establish fundamental electronics understandings to prepare students for further work in physical computing.
