IEEE Day 2024: Introduction to Arduino Workshop
As part of the IEEE Day celebrations, the IEEE Women in Engineering Student Affinity Group at RIT Dubai hosted an Intro to Arduino Workshop aimed at introducing students to the basics of Arduino and microcontroller programming. The event began with a brief introduction to Arduino, highlighting its applications and differences from platforms like Raspberry Pi. Participants were guided through setting up a breadboard, making basic circuit connections, and learning to control components such as LEDs and servo motors. Students had the opportunity to write their own code using the Arduino Integrated Development Environment (IDE) to operate these components, gaining practical experience in both hardware and programming.
