Interactive Maker Projects
with the HyperDuino
Welcome to the HyperDuino!
The tutorials below will take you through your first steps learning how to create Interactive Maker Projects
The HyperDuino (pronounced “Hyper-Dweeno”) and the accessories that go along with it have been designed to make it as fun and easy as possible to create your own Interactive Maker Projects, and to learn something about how digital devices interact in the real world.
There has been a recent change to the sample project included in the HyperDuino Starter kit. Formerly, there was a foamcore miniature tri-fold volcano project. Now this has been changed to cardstock (index card weight) material, and the instructions are therefore a little different.
If you have the HyperDuino Starter kit with the foamcore trifold, click here to go to the page with the matching tutorials.
If you have the HyperDuino Starter kit with the cardstock tri-fold, continue here with the suggested tutorials below.
Here are two videos that give a good quick overview of how to attach touch sensors and LEDs, and then how to link web-based digital media to a project.
Note: Some school networks do not allow access to external shared Google docs. If you find that the tutorial docs are blocked, you can alternatively use these pdf files:
HyperDuino for Chrome Tutorial, Part 1
HyperDuino for Chrome Tutorial, Part 2
Be aware that many of the hyperlinks within the document point to other places within the actual Google doc, and also other other Google docs, so those won't work for you. However, the essential information that you would need is in the pdf.
Additional tutorials and resource materials are available on the HyperDuino Resources page.

There are two options for the tutorial. The first, with a minimum of explanatory text, is on the left and is a pdf of a graphic tutorial used in HyperDuino workshops and makerspace activity tables at conferences and tech fairs. On the right is the more detailed introduction to the HyperDuino.
There is a lot more that you can do with your HyperDuino on a fun journey of exploration and learning!
Take a look at the "Going Further with the HyperDuino" Google doc for some good examples.
We very much welcome suggestions on improvements to even the smallest details, so we would love to hear from you!
