LED Lights Project

In this project students program an Arduino (approx. $20) to control a set of 50 RGB LED lights (approx. $16). Students work together in groups of 2-3 to create their own light “sculpture” that is synchronized to music of their choice.

This LED Lights Project was done for the first time at LASA during the 2015-16 school year. It is largely based on a project developed by the University of Texas for their First Bytes summer camp.
