CHIPS: LIGHTUP Los Altos — Arduino & Coding (Grades 6-8)

LIGHTUP is a hands-on STEM program in Los Altos for grades 6-8. Students program real Arduino hardware in C++, wire sensors and motors, and use AI tools to build and debug their own projects.
Classes meet Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:00 to 6:30 PM at 321 University Ave, Los Altos — pick your day. The first session is not scheduled yet. Maximum 8 students per class.
