About
Learn how to build, program, and operate microcontrollers. The 7-day course is primarily online cohosted by Magneto Space and MPU. MBE312 course immerses participants in a research intensive course to program your own custom microcontroller with TinkerCAD, software of choice (C++/Python) and to use digital multimeters. Get involved at local makerspace in Northern Virginia/Washington DC and engage in discussions on applying to sensor fusion integration, experiments, software, & systems. Inperson participation is recommended, however, online participation at home is possible to build microcontroller and earn certificate.

Microcontrollers and Applications
Microcontrollers (MC) contain CPU processors, memory, circuitry and are utilized in low-cost wearables, medical equipment, consumer electronics, rugged industrial devices, and more. Microcontrollers advance a variety of applications from home appliances, office machines, robots, and vehicles, to state-of-the-art military and aerospace systems.
