Wire up an $8 computer, connect a sensor, write a few lines of code, and watch it measure something real and show it live on your phone. No experience needed.
This is what you build. Tap any label to learn more.
Viper IDE is where you write and run code, it opens right in your browser, nothing to install.
Wormhole is the hands-on electronics part of Maker Lab Kids at Woodstock High School. You build a little sensor station: a tiny computer (a "Pico"), a sensor, and a small screen, pushed together on a breadboard. You write a short program that tells it what to measure (the temperature of a worm bin, how wet the soil is, how much light gets in) and it shows the answer on its screen and on any phone in the room.
Everything runs in a web browser (nothing to install on the computer), and each station makes its own WiFi, so it works even with no internet. This site walks you through it, one small step at a time. You are not expected to already know any of this.
Get your first program running on a Pico in about ten minutes. This is the "hello, it works!" moment.
The workshop in four steps, each proving one new thing works before the next builds on it: the computer, wiring, soldering, then sensors.
Pick a sensor (heat, water, light, distance, sound, motion) and follow the wiring picture. One click loads the code.
Real questions you can answer with what you built, from quick experiments to big showcase builds.
Slides for each session: Intro · 1 Microcontrollers · 2 Electronics & Breadboarding · 3 Soldering · 4 Sensors. All the code lives on GitHub.
