Attached to this blog post is the handout which was used in the element14 booth at Maker Faire Detroit 2013:
Sponsored by Element14
Presented by jkridner with fustini, element14Dave, Justin Triplett (i3 Detroit volunteer) and Mark Miles

BeagleBone Black is a $45, 1GHz computer that ships with a Linux distribution on its on-board 2GB flash and has extensive I/O capabilities. We’ll be focusing on how you can wire up sensors and actuators using an included JavaScript library and IDE.
It has four lessons which utilize Bonescript on the BeagleBone Black:
- Blink an LED
- Use button to set LED
- Use potentiometer to control LED brightness
- Read temperature using a TMP36 temperature sensor
Here's a quick video of what the workshop in our element14 booth looked like:
