Through engaging\, project-based learning\, students gain valu able technical skills while fostering creativity\, problem solving\, and c ollaboration. At the core of this program is Arduino\, an open-source micr ocontroller. The program aimed at 60 secondary school students\, aged 14 –15 from two different districts\, which are MRSM Beseri and MRSM Arau. The program aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goal 4 (Quality Educati on).\n\nThe participants were divided into 15 groups\, with 4 students in each group. The program was divided into two sessions. The first session w as an introduction to basic programming\, guided by prepared modules. It b egins with an introduction to the Arduino IDE\, basic circuits\, and simpl e coding commands\, for example how to control electronic components such as LEDs\, sensors\, motors\, and buzzers. Then\, in the second session\, a s the students progressed\, they were given more complex projects (group w ork)\, such as designing automated systems\, creating motion-activated dev ices (Pikabot).\n\nThe event was supported by 20 volunteers including 9 IE EE volunteers and hosted at the MEMS Lab\, Faculty of Electronic Engineeri ng & Technology\, Universiti Malaysia Perlis\, which provides computers an d resources. Overall\, the program is not only about coding but also gives valuable hands-on experience and increases confidence\, understanding\, a nd interest in STEM-related learning and innovation.\n\nThis student works hop is funded by the IEEE STEM Portal Grant 2025 under IEEE Computer Socie ty and organized as part of IEEE TryEngineering OnCampus at the Universiti Malaysia Perlis\n\nPhoto Galleries: https://photos.app.goo.gl/NmeBkcJLsx6 rciD7A\n\nSpeaker(s): Assoc.
