Activity (Hands-On)Grades 6 - 12
RGB Color Mixing
Students move through the engineering design process as they write Arduino code and use a “digital sandbox” to create new colors out of the three programming primary colors: green, red and blue. They develop their own functions, use them to make disco light shows, and vary the pattern and colors of their shows. The digital sandbox is a hardware and software learning platform powered by a microcontroller that can interact with real-world inputs like light, while at the same time controlling LEDs and other outputs.
You can mix colors to make any new color you want!Copyright 2006 Wintermute, Wikimedia Commons {PD} https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:AdditiveColorMixingII.png
