What will the club sessions include?

Participants get to learn about the uses of pre-programmed micro-controllers

Arduino makes the world of micro-controllers super accessible. Club members will, therefore, discover how they’re used, where they’re used, and the possibilities that a micro-controller comes with.

Participants developing and presenting their own ideas through an Arduino project

In the first session, participants will be provided with a pack of all the sensors and components needed to build a project from scratch. Participants will also be mentored each step of the way to achieve the objectives of the Summer Club. At the end of the club, the participants will get to keep the components used for the project so that they can continue exploring the world of Arduino at home.

Connecting with coders around the world

Arduino is what it is because of the large community of developers who share their knowledge and work online. The club will also work on developing the right skills and attitudes needed for participants to find the right educational resources to self-teach about new and interesting projects which the community shares with all its members.
