The two-day workshop started with the basic concepts and the components needed to design a robot during the first session. In the second half the students were introduced to the Arduino Microcontroller, its components and basic programming with a exercise on control of an LED using an Arduino uno along with explaining the contents on an Arduino board. Followed by a building and testing of Bluetooth controlled robot by the end of Day 1 of the workshop.
Day 2 started bustling with the same excitement as the first which included building of an Obstacle avoiding robot in the first half of the session. A lot of excitement and enthusiasm was seen among the students as they made the unprogrammed hardware-based line follower. Post lunch students made a programmed line follower and tested them on the track. Groups of 4 were made during the two-day workshop to inculcate teamwork.
The workshop taught students about creativity, teamwork and what they can achieve with patients and dedication. The two-day workshop concluded with the certificate distribution for the successfully completed students. A total of 52 students participated and benefitted from the workshop.
