Fortress Mode: Arduino Motion Gates (CHM)

Step into engineer mode and build your own automatic security gate using an Arduino, a motion sensor, and a servo motor! In this hands-on class, you’ll create a mini “fortress gate” that springs open whenever someone approaches. Along the way, you’ll learn: How motion sensors detect movement How servo motors create controlled motion Basic Arduino programming and wiring How real-world smart security systems work By the end of the class, you’ll have a working motion-activated gate and the skills to customize it with lights, alarms, or secret fortress upgrades. No experience needed — just bring your curiosity and prepare to defend the kingdom. 🏰🤖 If you have a laptop, please bring it — but come anyway if you don’t!
