Resumo

Arduino is a hardware and software platform known for its ease of use and accessibility, and can be operated by people with different levels of technical knowledge. With such a powerful tool, the goal of this research was to develop interactive and engaging materials that combine Arduino and individually addressable LED strips to attract people to computer science course in exhibitions and showcases by demonstrating the capabilities and accessibility of the technology. This paper presents two demos created with addressable LED. The first is an LED race based on the Open LED Race project, and the second is a Connect-4 game using an LED matrix.
