Hi everyone, 
Reports from the MakerWare Design Programme.
DAY 1 (May 22nd, 2023)
The students learned what embedded systems design is. The applications of embedded system design were made known to them, and the components we were going to use during the course of the program were also introduced to them.
DAY 2 (May 23rd, 2023)
The students learned about one of the major components to be used in the projects, which is the Arduino. They learned the different types of Arduinos and their uses. The type of Arduino that was used for the training is Arduino Uno. Its usage was also explained to the students.
Day 3 (May 24, 2023)
The Arduino code was taught to the students, but first they were shown how to install the software.Then they learned the basics of the code.
Afterwards, they carried out a mini-project of writing code for multitasking in Arduino using LEDs, making 1 LED constantly blink and alternating the other 2 LEDs consecutively at the same time.
Day 4 (May 26, 2023)
A temperature controller was the first project.The project’s components include:Small fan, 18b20 12c, LCD, Arduino Uno, jumper wiresLithium batteries, relay module,12 volt bulb, resistor breadboardThe code was written and the components were fixed appropriately; it was all good, and the students were really excited.
DAY 5 (27/05/2023)
A bluetooth home automation project was carried out.
The components for this projects includes:
Arduino uno
Jumper wires
Resistors
Bluetooth module
The aim of the project was to use bluetooth and an app to control (regulate) some home appliances, like a bulb and fan.
DAY 6 (May 29th, 2023)
A project on design of a Solar tracker was the last project.
The students learned how to assemble the components for this project together and also learned the code.
It was a fantastic one.
DAY 7 ( May 30th, 2023)
The Solar tracker project was completed and it was successful.
The MakWare design programme was concluded on the 30th May, 2023.
It was an impactful experience and the students were really glad and are looking forward to the next Embedded systems design programme.
Thanks to GOSH Community for funding this training.
