Objective of the event: To give a flavour of some interesting and real applications of electronics to the school students of senior secondary course studying science.

Brief description of the event: The 30-hour add-on course is designed with a view to enable the course participants to understand the domain of electronics beyond the regular curriculum with special emphasis on Arduino microcontrollers. The experiments have been carefully chosen keeping in mind the direct application of textbook material in real life scenarios. The hands-on practical on the electronic circuits combined with the associated design troubles helped the students realize the effort that goes into troubleshooting and hence, to come up with tractable solutions.The potential application of electronic sensors in reading a speeding object or to count the number of objects occupying a given closed space was also discussed and realized using Arduino UNO microcontroller.

The course ended with an earnest urge for continuation of this course with newer and more impactful experiments from both the participants and the academic office bearers.

Course outcome: The participants from various reputed schools including BGESS learned how electronics work in real life and hopefully, gathered a sense of what a course curriculum having an alignment with the electronics manufacturing and automation sectors should be.
