For the current specific example we need two parts - the diode and the controller. In this episode we would show you which part is the controller, which are the jumpers and finally we would choose a diode.

You don't need to know every part now. We would get to most of them in the course and discuss them. For now lets just focus on the controller and on the diode.
English
Below this video you can find a list of all the materials that you'll need for the whole course. We've discussed this even in previous videos. But for this specific example for the blinking diode we need only two parts. The controller and the diode.
In the set we have the Arduino controller. In this box right here.
We have also a number of diodes with different color. They are in this bag. And we have a red diode, a green and a yellow one.
We don't need all the other elements. The prep boards, the motor and the other. So, I'll just remove them and the jumpers. And we need only one of the diodes. And for this video I choose the red one.
Find these two elements in your set and prepare them for the next video.

Starting with Electronics and Arduino
Robotics is great. Mindstorms are great. But for a student to take the next step he or she needs to take a step back, learn what's 'below' and from there discover what would be 'above'.
So we, the content creators at FLLCasts, in order to teach the world of electronics and prepare the next generation of creators from the youngest age, by presenting knowledge, asking questions and searching for the answers of these questions, are building this course for basic electronics with Arduino, that we call "Starting with Electronics and Arduino".
The course is still in development

Getting started. Unpacking. First device and program
Why: It's an easy and fun example to introduce you to Arduino
How: Presenting questions and trying answer this questions. Experimenting with different tasks.
What: We would like to show you how to control a diode. We would build a device and write programs for this device.
End Result: A blinking diode
