CHIPS: ArduinoStudio Los Altos — Visual Programming + Real Hardware (Grades 6-8)

CHIPS: ArduinoStudio is a hands-on Arduino class in Los Altos for grades 6-8. Students wire real Arduino hardware, build the logic visually in ArduinoStudio, read the Arduino-style code it generates, and design a live interface that controls their own build. Every student works on an individual hardware kit. No previous experience required.
Classes meet Tuesdays from 5:00 to 6:30 PM (90 minutes) at 321 University Ave, Los Altos. Fall 2026-27 term: 8 sessions, September 15 through November 3, 2026. Maximum 8 students per class — now full (waitlist open).
Tuition about $47/hour: $569 for the 8-session term ($586.07 by card, which adds 3% processing) — that is what the enrolled families paid; enrollment closed on September 30, 2026, so the free waiting list at chips.interfacernd.com/ArduinoStudioLosAltos is the only way in. Projects include sensor dashboards, robot arm controls, music machines, and security systems.
