Processing
Much like ‘Arduino’, the word Processing refers to the things, the environment and the language used. Here the Processing ‘things’ are an open-source graphical library of objects that can be added to a graphical user interface. It is also the name of the programming language used to manipulate these graphics. Finally, it is the Integrated Development Environment in which the language is input and the graphical output is viewed.
To get a better idea of what can be done with the Processing language, check out some of the embedded sketches below. At the bottom of this page you can find any Maker Learner projects that use Processing.

Here is a collection of all the projects I have curated so far that align this technology to Maker Learning. If you have a project that you think belongs here, please register with us to become a contributor and share your project idea!
Tilt Ball Switch Science Project
The tilt ball switch works using the same principles as any normal electrical switch – if the circuit is broken, current will not flow. Tilt
What is the difference between a Raspberry Pi and an Arduino?

What is an ‘Arduino’?
Whilst ‘Arduino’ is more correctly described as an open source hardware and software company, the word is synonymously used to refer to the companies flagship
3D Printing Post
This is a 3D Printing test post. 3D Printers are an excellent opportunity to teach uncertainty and tolerance.
