Core Workshop

The HackerBox Core Workshop is designed to provide preparation for more advanced electronics projects such as the monthly HackerBox subscription boxes. The workshop features hands-on experiments with five different microcontroller platforms. These platforms were selected to leverage a range of development tools and various programming languages. Configure and program the ESP82666, ATmega328P, ESP32, SAMD21, and ARM STM32.  Prototype an Arduino on breadboard platform from a bare microcontroller chip. Assemble the Wi-Fi Nugget soldering project to explore IoT and wireless network security. Experiment with various application areas including graphics, wireless communications, human-machine interface, security, and AI. Expand your electronics toolset with supplies and components selected to support many future hardware projects.
