How To Name & Description		Est. Time	Hardware
	How to: Set up the Arduino Development Environment by: MIT App Inventor Project Install and setup the Arduino development environment on your computer to interact with App Inventor.	30 minutes	Arduino 101
	Bluetooth Low Energy Basic Connection by: MIT App Inventor Project Make a basic app that scans for Bluetooth devices and allows you to connect to a selected device.	30 minutes	Arduino 101 or BBC micro:bit
	How to: Use the Arduino 101's Accelerometer by: MIT App Inventor Project Make a simple app that displays the velocity of the Arduino device in the X, Y, and Z directions. Tilting and moving the Arduino changes the acceleration readings.	20 minutes	Arduino 101
	How to: Use a Button with Arduino by: MIT App Inventor Project Make a simple app that changes the background color of the app when pressing the button sensor connected to an Arduino controller. The app also counts how many times the button is pressed.	30 minutes	Arduino 101 Button
	How to: Use the Arduino 101's Gyroscope by: MIT App Inventor Project Make a simple app that displays the gyroscope measurement of angular velocity, which is the speed of rotation of an object (the Arduino). Tilting and moving the Arduino changes the angular velocity readings.	20 minutes	Arduino 101 Gyroscope
	How to: Use a Humidity Sensor with Arduino by: MIT App Inventor Project Make a simple app that displays the humidity level in the air, based on readings from a humidity sensor connected to an Arduino controller.	20 minutes	Arduino 101 Humidity sensor
	How to: Use a Light Sensor with Arduino by: MIT App Inventor Project Make a simple app that displays the amount of light, as a numerical value, in an area using a light sensor connected to an Arduino controller.	20 minutes	Arduino 101 Light sensor
	How to: Use a Moisture Sensor with Arduino by: MIT App Inventor Project Make a simple app that displays the amount of moisture, as a numerical value, in soil using a moisture sensor connected to an Arduino controller.	20 minutes	Arduino 101 Moisture sensor
	How to: Use a Proximity Sensor with Arduino by: MIT App Inventor Project Make a simple app that displays the change in proximity (in cm) to an object using a proximity sensor connected to an Arduino controller. A proximity sensor measures the distance between the sensor and an object.	20 minutes	Arduino 101 Proximity sensor
	How to: Use a Sound Recorder with Arduino by: MIT App Inventor Project Make a simple app that allows you to record your voice and play it back, by pressing buttons in the app.	30 minutes	Arduino 101 Grove sound recorder
