We were asked by the Minority Engineering Educational Task (M.E.E.T.) to run an extension of our Arduino/Robotics workshop for their high school students.

Together, we were able to load programs to the ATtiny85 micro-controller using the Arduino software and a USBasp programmer. The programs successfully controlled and managed LEDs, Servos and Ultrasonic distance sensors.
