• Arduino booklet
• Adafruit's learning resources

Software Required

• Arduino
• Fritzing

Hardware Required

For each student in the class (plus a few extra for buffer):

• Arduino Uno
• USB-B cable
• Mini-breadboard
• 10 2-5" jumper wires (a range of lengths is good)
• 3 alligator clip wires
• 1 potentiometer
• 2 breadboard compatible push buttons
• 3 green LEDs
• 3 red LEDs
• 1 RGB LED
• 1 photocell
• 9 220 ohm resistors (1 for each LED)
• 2 10k ohm resistor (for the force sensor and photocell)
• 1 small DC Motor
• 1 transistor
• 1 diode
• 1 2" x 2" square of conductive foam)

As a shared class resource:

• 20 shift registers
• Bulk resistor pack
• Bulk wire
• Wire strippers
• 10 Micro-servos

As of April 2013, the total total cost for each student is around $50. Ideally, each student is able to take home their Arduino and all of the components they learned about.
