This workshop aims to demystify the Arduino microcontroller through hands-on work in the lab creating simple to complex machines with embedded applications. Arduino is a versatile resource for physical projects for students and hobbyists in all disciplines. This course makes students to basic and advance understanding of the terminology and potential of the Arduino. The skills and concepts taught in this course are presented from an interdisciplinary approach
which merges practices in engineering and technology.
The workshop content has been designed in three levels based on understanding and technical knowledge of students. Each module focuses on the essential technical skills fo creating a simple physical computing system followed by an interactive project. This course has
no technically difficult prerequisites. Students should just have knowledge of little bit of electronics and programming basics. Students can bring their laptop for basic software installation and to complete the excercises to build their simple projects.
