Jewelbots: How to Get More Girls Coding!
summary
Programmable friendship bracelets run on Arduino IDE and C++, pair via Bluetooth and demonstrate four friendship modes (red/green/blue/cerulean) with LED + buzzer APIs; demos show pairing, short/long buzz messaging and a “catch the leprechaun” game successfully uploaded in session. Firmware updates (community-contributed colors) expand LEDs; common setup steps include adding boards, selecting port/board, entering upload mode (one Mississippi two Mississippi), or wiping with a blank sketch and using a safety‑pin factory reset. Recommended workshop rules: let kids type, teach docs and debug steps; target age ~8–13.
