What Is Arduino?
Arduino is a simple hardware and software platform used for learning programming and electronics.. I used the Arduino Uno kit, which is just one of their single circuit boards. There is a mix of using Arduino coding and programming the circuit board to complete a project. Both halves of the project need to be perfect in order for the circuit to work.

Summary
I learned that coding is not easy and is very meticulous. It is so hard to get right on the first try, and you have to be very patient. They took a lot of time and effort, but in the end it was very rewarding to get them all done! I learned a lot about coding and programming. I've never done either of these things before, so I know so much more than what I did before. Also, I learned more about electronics and power. You had to wire your board correctly to power the entire thing. Through this I found out a lot about how to power a circuit board. I'm so happy that I worked so hard and am so proud of myself.
