Overview

Creative Technologies in the Classroom 101, or CTC 101, is Arduino’s one-of-a-kind STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) program for upper secondary education. Students are introduced to the foundations of programming, electronics, and mechanics through a series of playful, welldocumented projects and easy-to-assemble experiments. Tailored for high school students ages 13 to 17, CTC is the ideal professional development program for upper secondary school teachers and educators. CTC 101 is a modular STEAM program consisting of more than 25 projects and easy-to-assemble experiments.
