Details

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. 🏰🤖
