● Algorithm: a procedure or formula for solving a problem.
● Programming language: artificial language designed to communicate instructions to a machine.

It also involves the process of designing, writing, testing, debugging, and maintaining the source code of a computer program.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tab][vc_tab title=”What is Arduino?” tab_id=”1388987880-2-29″][vc_column_text]It’s an open source electronics prototyping platform:

● Open source: resources that can be used, redistributed or rewritten free of charge, often software or hardware.
● Electronics: technology which makes use of the controlled motion of electrons through different media.
● Prototyping: an original form that can serve as a basis or standard for other things.
● Platform: hardware architecture with software framework on which other software can run.

The Arduino board is like a small computer that can be programmed as many times as needed.
As a computer, it provides I/O interaction, through digital (input and output) and analog input pins.
● Digital: discrete and finit, described in two states: 1/0, ON/OFF.
● Analog: continuous, can have infinite number of values.
The sketch made with the Arduino IDE is loaded to the board and stored in the microcontroller.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tab][vc_tab title=”What is Scratch?” tab_id=”1388988427270-2-6″][/vc_tab][/vc_tour][/vc_column][/vc_row]
