Fortress Mode: Arduino Motion Gates (CHM)

Step into engineer mode and build your own automatic security gate using an Arduino, a motion sensor, and a servo motor! In this hands-on class, you’ll create a mini “fortress gate” that springs open whenever someone approaches. Along the way, you’ll learn: * How motion sensors detect movement * How servo motors create controlled motion * Basic Arduino programming and wiring * How real-world smart security systems work By the end of the class, you’ll have a working motion-activated gate and the skills to customize it with lights, alarms, or secret fortress upgrades. No experience needed — just bring your curiosity and prepare to defend the kingdom. 🏰🤖 **If you have a laptop, please bring it — but come anyway if you don’t!**

Introduction to 3D Printing ($20)

**$5 is charged to hold a spot for this class. You can pay the remaining $15 in person with PayPal, credit cards, or cash.** *All instructors at Noisebridge are volunteers. 100% of your donation is tax-deductible and supports Noisebridge directly.* This class is meant to get you from 0 to your first 3D print. In this class the full workflow from design to printed object will be demonstrated. Topics covered: * Where and how to design or download objects (TinkerCAD/Printables/MakerWorld) * Filament types, when to use which, and how to handle them * How to convert your design into a file that's able to be printed * How to print with supports, make objects stronger, and adjust quality * How to load and unload filament and general print prep * How to send your design to the printer and watch it go! If you are interested you can use one of our 3D printers after the class to apply what you have learned. It's recommended to bring a laptop if you plan to do your own prints. There are no guarantees that a printer will be available. They are first-come-first-serve and are used for many different Noisebridge projects.

🌈 Distance Makes the Disco Grow Stronger

What happens when you wave your hand at a rainbow and it waves back? In this beginner-friendly Arduino class, you'll build a colorful light show using an ultrasonic distance sensor and an RGB LED strip. As your hand moves closer and farther away, the lights will react in real time—changing brightness, color, or creating animated effects. It's part science experiment, part magic trick, and part tiny dance party. Along the way you'll learn: * How ultrasonic sensors measure distance * How to connect and control RGB LED strips * Basic Arduino programming concepts * Using sensor data to create interactive projects * How to customize colors and effects to make your project uniquely yours No experience is required. If you can wave your hand and click "Upload," you're qualified. **Warning:** Excessive use may result in dramatic hand-waving, unnecessary sound effects, and an overwhelming desire to put LEDs on everything. 🌈 **If you have a laptop, please bring it — but come anyway if you don’t!**
