The college Robotics Club was a new initiat ive\, but up to date\, few innovative robot designs have been made by the children. Therefore\, to enhance their knowledge and scoop the best out of them\, they have decided to organize an Arduino Workshop\, where all the equipment that are needed to create the robots were given by the school. F or us\, it became an excellent opportunity to expand our services to socie ty. So\, we were able to cover the required materials in two days\, on the 18th and 25th of November\, via the Zoom platform.\n\nThe second day was the questions and answer session\, and it went on from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. Th e session was conducted by Aftab\, and it was really useful for the kids a s they had enough time to do the things taught on day 1 and test for the r esults. Then the problems that arose for them was raised there. For both d ays\, committee members of IEEE\, RAS UoP gave their contribution in order to help Nadun and Aftab.
