July TME Education training in Tanzania took place at two schools in Zanzibar - Mikunguni Technical Secondary School and Kengeja Technical Secondary School. The workshops took 5 days in each institution and were attended by 28 and 25 students respectively. During classes, the students were first taught the basics of electronics and then moved to Arduino programming. They could explore the features of Arduino-based TME Edu Kit and get the practical experience with LEDs, buzzers, analogue and digital sensors or switches. The participants could conduct simple experiments by collecting measurements and printing the results on an LCD included on the board. Finally, they were shown how to use Bluetooth in order to control the Arduino board wirelessly with an Android phone.
