For IEEE Young Professionals members\, this space represented a vital platform for networking\, staying current o n global trends (such as Edge AI\, supercomputing\, IoT\, and LLMs applied to hardware)\, and strengthening practical skills essential for the futur e of engineering in the region.\n\nThe event's success exceeded expectatio ns. We had the honor of an in-person opening talk by David Cuartielles\, c o-founder of Arduino. The program included three simultaneous tracks and m ore than 10 talks delivered by experts from Guatemala\, Mexico\, Latin Ame rica\, and Europe\, covering everything from open-tool chip design to adva nced robotics.\n\nThe response from the Guatemalan community was overwhelm ing\, filling the limited available spots and bringing together an interge nerational audience passionate about technology. Arduino Day 2026 demonstr ated that world-class technology is being forged in Guatemala and reaffirm ed IEEE's commitment to supporting initiatives that inspire the next leade rs of the tech industry.\n\nGuatemala City\, Guatemala\, Guatemala LOCATION:Guatemala City\, Guatemala\, Guatemala ORGANIZER:xhuniktzi@ieee.org SEQUENCE:31 SUMMARY:Arduino Day Guatemala City 2026 URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/576819 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>On August 28\, 2026\, Universidad Galileo in Guatemala City hosted the historic Arduino Day 2026\, an event that mar ked an ambitious in-person comeback after a decade of community history.</ p>\n<p>The event was organized and led by the Arduino Guatemala Community\ , with invaluable sponsorship support.</p>\n<p>The main purpose was to fos ter a culture of open-source hardware and democratize access to cutting-ed ge technologies\, creating learning paths for all levels &mdash\; from lig hting an LED to deploying Artificial Intelligence on microcontrollers.
