The workshops were received with great enthusiasm both by students and teachers. As an introduction, Sanga conducted a brief course of computer basics and explained the idea of TME Education and its tools to the participants, so the next day he could move on to Arduino-based TME Edu Kit and its features. The students also got to learn the basics of C language, the technique of writing sketches and commanding and declaring Arduino pins. Later, Sanga elaborated on kinds of sensors, their types and ways of usage. In the end, the students were challenged by him to make their own sketch. During the training, the participants also had a chance to discover more about electronics itself. With the help of Sanga, they explored the components included in TME’s Electronics Experiments Kit. On the last day, the students designed and constructed an operating electronic circuit.
