What we do?

We guide young students/fresh employees to learn electronics and robotics in a unique hands-on way. We enable students to enhance their practical skills via experiential learning.

We don’t force feed students with readymade kits and codes. They are free to explore and create their own way of building things. Engineer’s Nook is a perfect playground for your creativity. Our home grown lab in JP Nagar 7^th Phase is well equipped for these hands-on explorations.

Why experiential learning?

Too many to list. But here are few:

• People with hands-on skills are sought after by the industry.
• Students who explore aren’t afraid to take risks. These are the risk takers who bring positive change wherever they go and industry simply loves to have them!
• Through these activities, students start to discover and develop their own skills, aptitudes and passions. This discovery in turn sets them on a more defined path to college and careers.
• Hands on means minds on. Student engagement increases and their knowledge retention improves

1. Module 4 - Arduino Robotics - 23 ~ 26 Hours

Pre-requisite for this module:

• Understanding of Basic Electronics, Usage of electronic components in circuits, usage of bread boards and multimeter
• Using Arduino open source hardware, interface of various inputs/output devices including display, keypad and electromechanical devices
• Knowledge of sensors and how to interface with Arduino and how to use them
• It is strongly recommended that students bring their own laptop. You’ll preserve your work and you’ll have all the development environment set up for you to work even after your course(s)
