Make your very own glowing cloud by using STEAM. STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math. You will learn how to program and code an Arduino Uno, learn how to program a WS2812 LED strip to create a light show, and learn how to turn it into art. The suggested grade level is 6th Grade through 10th grade. This is an introductory level program. No prior programming experience is necessary. The goal of the program is to introduce STEAM to the current youth of Traverse City. This program will focus on the Tech and Art aspects of STEAM. This course will teach students how to program an Arduino Uno using the Arduino programing app. The students will learn how to write code to tell the WS2812 LED strip to light up in their own unique color patterns. We will create a structure to wrap the LED strip around and apply the cotton on top of the structure to create the illusion of a cloud.
