Fortress Mode: Arduino Motion Gates (CHM)

Build your own mini basketball arcade game using an Arduino! In this hands-on beginner workshop, you’ll create a simple basketball game that uses a ping pong ball, an IR motion sensor to detect when you score, and a digital display to keep track of points. You’ll learn the basics of wiring, sensors, and Arduino code while building something fun you can actually play. No experience needed — just bring your curiosity and get ready to shoot, score, and tinker! If you have a laptop, please bring it — but come anyway if you don’t!
