Kamal, Register of BAIUST, Jahidul Arafat, Assistant Professor, Department of CSE, BAIUST and Meskat Jahan, Lecturer, Department of CSE, BAIUST was present at the workshop. Besides researching on robotics students used the Arduino development kit to solve small electronic problems. The students were taught hands-on how to use the Arduino to solve problems.

There were taught Arduino pin configuration, microcontroller, Basic Electronics, controlling LED lights, use of digital pin, Pulse width modulation (PWI), temperature sensor, sonar sensor, servo motor, push button and potentiometer. 10 popular Arduino project was introduced to students. They were also introduced to the Internet of Things (IoT).
