Arduino and various electronic components
5 Class Projects
It takes about 50-100 minutes hour(s) to complete each project.
Brighten up even at night! Your own LED mood light (electronic circuit basis, parallel/serial difference)
Twinkle UFO light coding (basic coding using LEDs)
Panda trash can that opens automatically (ultrasonic sensor, coded conditional statement)
Your own space battle game console (LCD monitor)
Twirling maze game machine (flat and three-dimensional)
Skills You’ll Learn
It's hard to learn English and math, but how do you even code?
Don't just buy a video game, make your own.
Don't just play with your phone, create programs.
- Barack Obama
Everyone in this country should learn to code.
Coding teaches us how to think.
-Steve Jobs
In the rapidly changing era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution,
Coding training can help you stay one step ahead.
The world is now changing around IT technology.
AI, drones, autonomous vehicles, etc. that seemed to be far away are becoming a reality.
The basis of this IT technology is coding. It is an era where software is developed through coding and the world is changed with that software.
Now, no matter what we do, IT technology will be in every area of our lives.
This is why our children who will live in the future should learn to code.
Just like a foreign language, coding needs to be started early.
It is said that the more you learn a foreign language when you're young, the faster you learn it like a sponge, right?
Coding is also about learning computer languages, so it's easy to get used to it if you learn and interact with it frequently from an early age.
The goal of this class is to make children feel friendly without fear of coding through frequent exposure and repetitive learning.
Coding education greatly helps develop problem solving skills, creativity, and thinking skills through exercises to solve various situations. The foregoing skills are essential for growing into the talents needed in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
Learn coding by making your own toys!
We're here for a physical coding class that breaks the preconceived notion that coding is difficult and boring, and leaves nothing but fun and rewarding! Physical coding is a method of learning the principles of coding by creating not only a computer, but also an object where you can directly check your coding results with your own eyes.
This is a class that uses Arduino to make moving toys by putting a program coded into a circuit created by children themselves.
mom! This trash can works on the principle of an ultrasonic sensor!
Works are created using various electronic components such as LEDs, ultrasonic sensors, speakers, and servo motors. You can thoroughly learn how to light up and move, from method to principle.
With physical coding with ACIA, children can achieve the following learning benefits.
- In addition to understanding various electronic components, the basic skills of electricity and electronics become solid.
- You can learn basic coding grammars commonly used in C, C++, and Java, which are the basics of computer programming.
- It's not a coding program designed for kids, but because it directly teaches the actual coding language, you can experience and learn real coding in English.
- As you compile and upload coding programs, you can also develop computer literacy skills.

How is the class curriculum structured?
This class creates a total of 5 works for each level of difficulty, and is structured so that even children who don't know anything about coding can follow them step by step from basic to advanced.
The total time required to create one work is 1 to 2 hours, one work per chapter, and this class consists of a total of 5 chapters.
After laying the foundation with the first 2 projects, you can create toys that you can play with at any time, even after the class is over for the last 3 works!
1. I'm not afraid of the night anymore! Your own LED mood light (electronic circuit basis)
- Electronic circuit basics (5th grade room and “electric circuit”)
- Understanding Serial/Parallel (6th grade science “The action of electricity”)
2. A UFO has appeared! (coding basics)
- Learn basic Arduino coding syntax using LEDs
3. Panda trash can that opens automatically
- ultrasonic sensor, servo motor
- Conditional statements in coding
4. Space combat game machine (advanced coding_application work 2)
- LCD screen configuration principle
- Advanced coding syntax
5. My own maze game console (Application 3)
- Understanding Coordinate Planes and Planes (5th grade mathematics “Planes and Solids”)
- Advanced Arduino coding using two servo motors and a joystick
The sense of accomplishment and motivation that comes from watching the result of children's own coding work will be a valuable asset for children in the future.
What do I need to bring?
All of the parts needed to create an artwork are shipped to your home, but a laptop or computer equipped with Windows 10 is essential for coding!
Other than that, it's a good idea to prepare the following items in advance so that you can decorate and complete the works in a unique way!
- Compass, screwdriver, carpentry glue (or glue gun)
- Sign pen, colored pencil, oil magic, tape
*A total of 3 Arduino boards will be shipped. At the end of the activity, the second work, Arduino, is disassembled and reused for the third work.
- Your own LED mood light kit
- UFO coding kit
- automatic dustbin kit
- Space battle game machine kit
- Maze game kit

ACIA
Hello, I'm Kim Soo Yeon, CEO of ACIA, a coding education company.
While majoring in Business Analytics (Business Analytics) at the University of Notre Dame in the United States, I constantly heard from professors.
Data only gets bigger
(The world's data is only growing)
In the future, in a world where the ability to analyze and use data is essential, coding has become a second foreign language as important as English.
ACIA is currently a coding education company that specializes in physical coding education using Arduino for elementary schools, job experience camps, and science gifted camps.
Rather than just looking at a computer screen, let's help children get to know coding with physical coding that has fun learning while lighting a light bulb, running a motor, and making their own game machine, rather than just looking at a computer screen!
ACIA uses a microcontroller board called “Arduino” to implement coding phrases uploaded from a computer on an electronic circuit, and the results of coding are taught based on physical coding, where you can experience the results of coding with your own eyes and hands. In addition to being able to prepare the electronic circuits that appear in the upper elementary school curriculum in advance, it is an opportunity to learn English vocabulary involved in coding naturally!
