2- Name of event: Digital electronics for High School students of GBHS Pintchoumba
3- Email: jafsiaelisee@gmail.com
4- What Open Science Hardwares tool(s) will be the forms will be the focus of your event?
The Open Hardware we will be working on is the Arduino Kit with various sensors. We will particularly focus on the realisation of some projects with the students.
5- Describe your courses and workshop, why and what is it for? Where and when it will be held , how many attendees (IRC or virtual) you expect
The Pintchoumba Bilingual High School is a newly created one in the northern part of Cameroon with about fifteen students in the Form 5 Science section. These students have Physics as subject and particularly electronics. In a rural context, they do content themselves with theoretical and calculus dur to lack of lab materials. The 21st century skills in science and engineering require them to learn to do this in a practical way. It is with this in mind that we intend to train these fifteen young people and their Physics teacher in the use of Arduino kits. This training workshop is scheduled to be held on April 15, 16,17,18, 2023 at the end of each day’s classes, and would be an in-person training workshop.
6- Do you have plans for ongoing activities after this event or is it intended that the participants will continue activities after this event?
If so describe, the intentions and plans here
For the sustainability of the initiative, we intend to bequeath to the Principal of the School the Arduino kits and the sensors which will be purchased so that the students continue to have access to them. A Google Classroom will be created and will serve as a channel for sharing resources and discussions after this training workshop.
7- What events output (teaching materials, curricula, software, etc) will you make available? Will these outputs carry an open license?
It will be made available to the students training supports about digital electronics. Digital resources will also be shared in the continuity of the training in order to maintain the skills acquired by the learners.
