Step 1: Build

First, let’s build our habitat monitoring device with the building blocks and robotic components from the Climate Action Kit:

Step 2: Code

Next, we’ll follow a tutorial to connect our device to the computer. We’ll download and modify some starter code to learn how it works and make it even better!

Let’s Code!
