After O/L Arduino & Electronic Courses - Katugastota

EDINBURGH Institute - ARDUINO Workshop

Hey Everybody!
This year we are once again conducting a workshop on Robotics and Hardware hacking!
Last year we had an awesome event geared toward people with an interest in hardware, robotics and IoT - as a matter of fact, it was such a cool event that we are going to use the same format for this year’s event.

Register on or before 30 December 2018.

Course will commence on 5 January 2019

## Participants

Are you wondering if this will be the right event for you?

- Have you ever found yourself wondering what the big IoT (Internet of Things) craze is all about?

- Are you excited about the prospect of hardware hacking, but don't know where to start?

- Are you tired of Intro to Hardware-hacks that only show you how to light up an LED?

- Are you confused between your DC's and AC's or have you accidentally tried to eat a bread board?

If you answered ‘YES!’ to any of these questions, this may be the event for you!

## This event will feature

- an introduction to hardware development workshop during the morning (led by Asiri Hewage, Software Developer, Google indexed SEO Expert and an Innovator for IoT)

- a day of building and hacking on projects

The team has been working hard to make sure this event is beginner-friendly, but it will require some hardware and software tools.

If you don't have these available, don't worry!

We have a bunch of kits that we've put together specifically for this event.

These kits are available as part of the registration fee, and will include everything you need to get started:

- 1 Arduino UNO

- 1 USB cable for Arduino

- a half-size breadboard

- lead wires

- 1 Servo motor

- a 9V battery and a battery snap

- A robot chassis

Aside from these tools that will be provided, Participants are allowed to bring their own laptop and adapters for the USB ports. You are free to use our computer lab too.

Participants are also required to install Arduino (https://www.arduino.cc/en/main/software) on their Laptop prior to the event. In our labs we have already installed those softwares.

A mini screwdriver, a pair of scissors and other crafting tools and materials will be very helpful for your own project. We are going to use Robot chassis and crafting sticks to create robots and machines.
