What is Arduino?


Arduino is an open-source prototyping platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software. Arduino boards are able to read inputs - light on a sensor, a finger on a button, or a Twitter message - and turn it into an output - activating a motor, turning on an LED, publishing something online. You can tell your board what to do by sending a set of instructions to the microcontroller on the board. To do so you use the Arduino programming language.

Over the years Arduino has been the brain of thousands of projects, from everyday objects to complex scientific instruments. A worldwide community of makers - students, hobbyists, artists, programmers, and professionals - has gathered around this open-source platform, their contributions have added up to an incredible amount of accessible knowledge that can be of great help to novices and experts alike.

Arduino was born at the Ivrea Interaction Design Institute as an easy tool for fast prototyping, aimed at students without a background in electronics and programming. As soon as it reached a wider community, the Arduino board started changing to adapt to new needs and challenges, differentiating its offer from simple 8-bit boards to products for IoT applications, wearable, 3D printing, and embedded environments. All Arduino boards are completely open-source, empowering users to build them independently and eventually adapt them to their particular needs. The software, too, is open-source, and it is growing through the contributions of users worldwide.

About the Workshop


The workshop is all about helping our budding engineers to effortlessly stroll into the world of embedded. Ideas shouldn't be bounded by the lack of exposure, and hence the workshop helps you practice working on a platform with various peripherals required to realise any project one can think of. You will be guided through each and every aspect of how any system works, and how can you use a basic platform to bring down your ideas to reality.

The workshop provides you with a complete takeaway kit using which you can realise a prototype of any project idea you can think of in the future. From mentors, to guidance, to technical support and study materials - you get it all. We want this to be the beginning of your career, and definitely we got loads more coming!

Takeaway Embedded Kit


You will be provided with a complete manual robot construction kit which includes:

What you need to know beforehand?


1. Sense of the fundamental directions (forward, backward, left, right).
2. High School Trigonometry.
3. Kirchoff's Laws.
4. How to operate a laptop.
