3. Summary of Activities
Session 1: How to Build Your Robot: (October 8, 2025)
This first workshop offered an inspiring introduction to robotics. Participants began by exploring the core concepts of robotics, understanding what defines a robot, its main components, and the relationship between mechanics, electronics, and programming.
The session then moved into a practical segment focusing on mechanical design using SolidWorks. Attendees learned how to conceptualize and model a basic robot structure, taking into account key principles such as balance, movement, and component placement.
Session 2: Arduino for Robotics: (October 14, 2025)
The second session of the bootcamp introduced participants to Arduino programming and hardware integration, marking the next step in the journey from design to functional robotics.
Students learned the fundamentals of Arduino architecture, explored key components such as sensors, motors, and actuators, and discovered how to connect and control them effectively. The session covered basic coding in the Arduino IDE, enabling participants to write, upload, and test their first robot control programs.
4. Attendance
Number of Participants: 25 participants for session 1 and 21 participants for session 2.
