# **DIY Blinky Light Basics - Activity Session 2**
**Church Night 7:30 - 10pm Wednesday October 29th Lloyd the Warehouse** **Location:** 3106 Industrial Terrace, Austin, TX 78758
***New Learners Welcome***
I've taught middle schoolers who had never even tried anything like this before. You can learn it too.
In this session we're going to finish the Session 1 workbook and learn to make LEDs fade their brightness and not just switch on and off.
Then we're going to take our first foray into multi-color LEDs and change their color
We will also start working on addressable LEDs and how they work which involves building things that take more power than the Arduino can provide on it's own but are still controlled by the Arduino
You can join our discord channel which has project ideas, help with troubleshooting, workshop materials links and weirdos

I'll bring a bag of these multi color LEDs so we'll have plenty to play with at the workshop. No need to get your own unless you want to get a bag for yourself.

This kit is on Amazon for $17 and contains everything needed plus a bit more.

I'm going to put together a group order for these based on RSVPs. For the workshop you only need one. Cost is $10 for the workshop materials or if you want lots you can buy your own.

and a 10 LED section of this

I'll cut that up and solder on some jumpers so that we can just plug them in at the workshop without screwing around trying to get the signal wire attached.

(edited to add: if you have expertise with this and would like to help other people learn it too please join me teaching and mentoring people. You probably know things I don't and aren't stealing my thunder or upstaging me or something equally pride and ego driven. This is fun, let's all have fun.)
