This initiative aimed to introduce primary scho ol students to the world of electronics and programming through engaging a nd hands-on activities. At SK Haji Nyak Gam\, 40 students and around 10 te achers participated\, while SK Langkasuka saw the involvement of 37 studen ts and about 5 teachers. The sessions were designed to provide students wi th a foundational understanding of the Arduino board\, key electronic comp onents\, and basic electronic concepts. Through interactive simulations on Tinkercad\, students were able to experiment with virtual circuits before moving on to hands-on projects that allowed them to apply their newfound knowledge.\n\nThe workshop was supported by a dedicated team\, including a lot of volunteers from UTM DPPC and 8 IEEE members\, with guidance from o ur advisor\, A.P. Ts. Dr. Mohd Fitri Mohd Yakub. Their efforts ensured tha t the program was not only educational but also engaging and accessible to all participants. The enthusiasm from both the students and teachers was palpable\, with many expressing excitement at the opportunity to explore n ew technologies. The program fostered a collaborative learning environment \, encouraging students to work together and think creatively.\n\nIn addit ion to sparking interest in STEM (Science\, Technology\, Engineering\, and Mathematics) fields\, the workshop also aimed to equip students with crit ical thinking and problem-solving skills\, which are essential in today’ s technology-driven world. The positive reception from the participants su ggests that this initiative has made a meaningful impact\, potentially ins piring the next generation of innovators. Overall\, the Arduino Workshop i n Yan was a resounding success\, fulfilling its goal of making technology accessible and exciting for young learners.\n\nYan\, Kedah\, Malaysia LOCATION:Yan\, Kedah\, Malaysia ORGANIZER:kshazwan3@ieee.org SEQUENCE:27 SUMMARY:ARDUINO WORKSHOP: BRIDGING COMMUNITIES THROUGH TECHNOLOGY URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/430583 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><img style="display: block\; margin-left: auto\; margin-right: auto\;" src="https://events.vtools.ieee.org/vtools_ui /media/display/ff021430-c541-4376-85ff-90794acc5d9a" width="833" height="6 98"></p>\n<p>&nbsp\;</p>\n<p style="text-align: justify\;">On August 18\, 2024\, the IEEE UTM KL Student Branch successfully conducted an Arduino Wo rkshop at two schools in Yan\, Kedah&mdash\;SK Haji Nyak Gam and SK Langka suka.
