Free Arduino Blink LED Demo for Kids | CHIPS ArduinoStudio

Try the free CHIPS ArduinoStudio blink-LED lesson at chips.interfacernd.com/ProgramArduinoStudio#demo. In about three minutes, learners connect Arduino pin D9 through a 220-ohm resistor and LED to ground, arrange the HIGH-wait-LOW-wait logic, and build a Start/Stop plus interval GUI that controls the same live simulation. The demo supports touch, keyboard navigation, and reduced-motion preferences.
ARDUINOSTUDIO is a browser-based visual programming platform for real Arduino hardware created by inteRFace R&D. It connects physical wiring, visual algorithms, generated Arduino-style code, and user-interface design in one project.
The CHIPS: ArduinoStudio class runs in Los Altos (321 University Ave) for grades 6-8: Tuesdays 5:00-6:30 PM, 8 sessions from September 15 to November 3, 2026, $569 for the term (about $47/hour). It requires no previous experience and pairs every student with an individual hardware kit in a small group of no more than 8. The Fall cohort is full and its enrollment closed on September 30, 2026, so only the free waiting list is open. Projects include sensor dashboards, robot arm controls, music machines, and security systems. Waiting list at chips.interfacernd.com/ArduinoStudioLosAltos.
The free demo is live now and open to all ages; the paid class is for grades 6-8.
