Class 0: Introduction and Setup
Covers: What the AVRs are, what all the pins do, what they can do for you. A brief tour of the toolchain, and getting your firmware up and running on the chip. Reading the datasheets. How to make chips speak digital to the outside world, pin-by-pin. Just enough C programming fundamentals to make it work.
Lab: Building the kit and running a test LED flasher.

Homework: More soldering, and Cylon Eyes. Optional extra credit: Simple POV toy (hint, make the timing a lot faster and swing your arms). Super bonus points: Make a neat POV toy.
