The Arduino Workshop
Keynote and Participation
The Arduino workshop was an end-to-end, hands-on experience focused on coding and programming, conducted entirely within the school. Our guest speaker, Mr. Thomas Philip from the JTF Foundation, shared his insights with 20 participants from grades 7 and 8.
The Content of the Programme:
The workshop was enjoyable and enlightening. The themes included:
Basic concepts of circuits
Blinking of LED and Time lapse
Light the world project: LED and Buzzer
The Workshop
The workshop was designed to empower participants with practical skills and knowledge in electronics, programming, and problem-solving using the Arduino Platform. The programme provided students with theory and practical skills for students to develop programming making students curious, unfolding them towards research and development.
The workshop began with an introduction to Arduino and Arduino UNO(R3). Participants gained a clear understanding of the platform's versatility and the potential for creativity.
Each group of students was provided with an Arduino Uno Board, components, and a set of instructions for a beginner-level project. Students worked making code to make the Arduino run. Participants encountered common challenges while constructing and coding their projects. Through guided troubleshooting sessions, they acquired problem-solving techniques and bolstered their confidence in addressing technical issues.
