Basics of Arduino and its Applications
IEEE Systems Council, IEEE Sensors Council, IEEE SIGHT of SMVITM in association with IEEE SIGHT Mangalore Subsection organized an activity titled “Basics of Arduino and its Applications” at Govt. High School, Volakadu, Udupi on 08 July 2026 by the students of SMVITM, Bantakal, Udupi. The session aimed to introduce school students to the fundamentals of the Internet of Things and provide practical exposure to real-world applications through an engaging hands-on learning experience.
The primary objective of the activity was to familiarize students with Arduino-based systems and enable them to understand the development of simple IoT applications. Another important objective was to demonstrate working project models, including a line follower robot and basic robotic systems, thereby helping students visualize the practical implementation of embedded and IoT technologies.
The session was conducted by Ms. Prerana, Mr. Shivam, Mr. Poornananda, and Ms. Shreya. They explained the architecture of the Arduino Uno board, Arduino IDE, basic programming concepts, and digital/analog input-output operations. Students were also introduced to the applications of Arduino in robotics, automation, smart homes, healthcare, and agriculture.
The workshop included live demonstrations and hands-on activities such as LED blinking and sensor interfacing, enabling students to gain practical experience in programming and electronic circuit design. The participants actively engaged in the activities and interacted enthusiastically with the resource persons.
The workshop successfully enhanced students' understanding of Arduino and inspired them to explore STEM, innovation, and technology-based problem-solving.
