The workshop provides participants with an opportunity to explore how robots perceive and interact with their enviro nment using sensors\, electronic components\, and programmable devices. By combining theoretical concepts with practical demonstrations\, the sessio n encourages curiosity\, creativity\, critical thinking\, and problem-solv ing while highlighting the role of engineering and technology in addressin g real-world challenges.\n\nActivity Description\n\nThe session began with an integration activity that encouraged participants to collaborate and c ommunicate effectively in small groups. This was followed by a brief revie w of the electronic circuit developed during the previous workshop\, reinf orcing the fundamental concepts of circuit design and component connection s.\n\nParticipants then assembled a new electronic circuit using a micro b oard\, an LED display\, and an infrared sensor. After building the circuit \, they explored how each component functioned and interacted within the s ystem through guided experimentation. The program was subsequently uploade d to an ESP32 development board\, allowing participants to perform real-li fe testing and observe the circuit operating in a practical environment. T his hands-on experience enabled children to better understand the relation ship between hardware\, programming\, and system functionality while stren gthening their teamwork and problem-solving skills.\n\nThe workshop conclu ded with an introductory chess session\, where participants learned the ba sic rules\, the movement of the different pieces\, and fundamental strateg ies of the game. This activity promoted logical thinking\, concentration\, and decision-making in an enjoyable and interactive setting.\n\nAt the en d of the session\, certificates of participation were presented to all par ticipants in recognition of their engagement and successful completion of the workshop.\n\n[][]\n\nSpeaker(s): Youssef Gharbi\n\nAgenda: \nDAY 3:\n\ nTime: 9:30 AM – 12:30 PM\n\n09:30 – 09:50 | Opening & Team Integratio n\n\n- Welcome and introduction to the session\n- Ice-breaking and small g roup collaboration activity\n- Overview of workshop objectives\n\n09:50 – 10:15 | Review of Previous Electronic Circuit\n\n- Recap of the circui t developed in the previous workshop\n- Discussion of fundamental circuit design concepts\n- Review of component connections and system structure\n- Interactive Q&A\n\n10:15 – 10:30 | Break\n\n10:30 – 11:15 | Electroni cs & ESP32 – Theoretical Introduction\n\n- Introduction to the micro boa rd (ESP32)\n- Presentation of the LED display and infrared sensor\n- Expla nation of component roles and interactions\n- Understanding hardware–sof tware integration\n\n11:15 – 12:00 | Hands-on Circuit Assembly & Program ming\n\n- Building the electronic circuit\n- Connecting the micro board\, LED display\, and infrared sensor\n- Uploading the program to the ESP32 de velopment board\n- Real-life testing and guided experimentation\n- Trouble shooting and system validation\n\n12:00 – 12:20 | Introduction to Chess – Logic & Strategy\n\n- Basic chess rules\n- Movement of the pieces\n- F undamental strategies and logical thinking exercises\n- Short interactive practice\n\n12:20 – 12:30 | Reflection & Certificate Ceremony\n\n- Parti cipants share observations and key learnings\n- Discussion on teamwork and problem-solving\n- Certificate distribution and closing remarks\n\nMarkez El Estiyef\, Ramla\, Kerkennah\, Kerkennah\, Sfax\, Tunisia\, 3070 LOCATION:Markez El Estiyef\, Ramla\, Kerkennah\, Kerkennah\, Sfax\, Tunisia \, 3070 ORGANIZER:ras-fss@ieee.tn SEQUENCE:107 SUMMARY:STEM GRANT: HeartBeats to Engineering (Day 3) URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/567600 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>&nbsp\;</p>\n<p><span style="background-co lor: rgb(255\, 255\, 255)\; color: rgb(0\, 0\, 0)\;"><strong><img style="d isplay: block\; margin-left: auto\; margin-right: auto\;" src="https://eve nts.vtools.ieee.org/vtools_ui/media/display/2b6310f0-0615-4959-8770-db23df 72f8b5" alt=""></strong></span></p>\n<p>&nbsp\;</p>\n<h4><span style="back ground-color: rgb(255\, 255\, 255)\; color: rgb(53\, 152\, 219)\;"><strong >Event Description</strong></span></h4>\n<p><span style="background-color: rgb(255\, 255\, 255)\; color: rgb(0\, 0\, 0)\;">Introduction to Robotics is an engaging educational workshop designed to introduce children to the fundamentals of robotics\, electronics\, and embedded systems through inte ractive and hands-on learning experiences.
