IEEE Arduino Workshop
Learn how to program and use Arduino in embedded systems!
The UMBC IEEE student branch will hold a free Arduino workshop from 4:00 to 7:00 pm ET in ITE 233. Arduino is an inexpensive, open-source electronic prototyping platform enabling users to create interactive electronic objects. The workshop will lead participants through some guided projects. No experience is necessary.
The Arduino microcontroller is a great device for anyone who wants to learn more about embedded and cyber-physical systems. It is used in many fields in research and industry and might even help you get an internship. UMBC students have used the Arduino for researching self-replicating robots, remote-controlled helicopters, hacking into a vehicle’s control system, and using radar to detect human activity in a room. The Arduino is a wonderful tool and is fairly easy to use.
The workshop is open to all majors and only minimum coding experience is recommended. If possible, you should bring your laptop and charger and download and install the Arduino IDE.
If you have any questions about the workshop, you can send them to Tamoor Hamid (tamoorh1@umbc.edu), the IEEE student branch chair.
