A one day coordinators' workshop on "Arduino" was organized by IIT, Bombay on 18th January 2020 at F.C.Kohli Auditorium IIT Bombay. The workshop was meant for faculties from technical institutes who would act as course coordinators and organize the main workshop at their respective remote centres. The workshop was organized under the aegis of 'Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya National Mission on Teachers and Teaching' (PMMMNMTT), funded by the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India.
Around 105 participants from technical institutions across the country participated in this workshop. Faculty member Ms. Payal Garg, Assistant Professor, Department of Electronics & Communication Engineering represented Dronacharya Group of Institutions, Greater Noida, Delhi NCR in the workshop.
The workshop was inaugurated by Prof. Kannan Moudgalya, Principal Investigator, PMMMNMTT, IIT Bombay in the presence of Mr. Narendra Mohapatra - CEO - Electronic Sector Skill Council of India and Dr. G.V.V Sharma, Associate Professor, IIT Hyderabad.
Prof. Moudgalya, in his address talked on how this learning approach is being appreciated nationwide and how this has helped in bringing minds together building a better tomorrow. He explained the importance of Arduino and its possible applications.
Mr. Narendra Mohapatra in his address spoke on the importance of hands-on approach and how this is helpful in skill development amongst young minds.
Dr. G.V.V Sharma described his classroom approach and how the teachers should actually be aiming to teach, for the benefit of the students.
Following the inaugural session, the participants attended the lab session in which they performed various tasks using Arduino. They started with basic sessions like blinking an LED and tricolour LED, which went onto creating wireless links using wifi modules and other components. The entire session was conducted by side-by-side learning method. All the queries raised by the participants were resolved through FOSSEE forum.
In the last session there was an open discussion where the participants told their different innovations using Arduino boards.
The workshop ended with the vote of thanks by Prof. Moudgalya.
