   • Due Mon Sep 30: Re-implement demo 3 electronics using the CKS-1 Arduino Uno Shield. Revise software in response to critique.

     1. You’ll need to solder some portion of the connectors on the shield board, including all the ‘headers and core components’, some number of inputs, and possibly the DC motor section. See CKS-1 Arduino Uno Shield for a guide.

     2. You’ll need to crimp connector pins onto the motor and switch wires.

     3. You’ll need to choose some unresolved attribute of behavior which can be improved strictly in code.

   • Due Mon Sep 30: Children’s School Observation Notes.

   • Due Mon Sep 30: Project Ideation. Write a list of 50 project ideas. Be sure to bring them printed on single sheet of paper to pass around during an in-class exercise.
