Brief Overview

The Arduino workshop was an inter school,  end-to-end, hands-on, coding and programming workshop. We had 40 participants from St Joseph’s Boys’ High School, St Joseph’s school CBSE, St Joseph’s Indian High School,and St Joseph’s PU College.

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
• Traffic light project with Arduino

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, its history, and its applications. Participants gained a clear understanding of the platform's versatility and the potential for creativity. The students demonstrate their project on a drone and rubber ducky (a hacking tool) using Arduino. The students were amazed and were excited during the session. Each participant was provided with an Arduino Uno Board, components, and a set of instructions for a beginner-level project. Students worked in pairs to build a simple, traffic light system, applying the concepts they learned throughout the workshop.

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.
