Modern technology has been created variety of electronic product to enhance our daily lives. Nowadays even children and teenagers tend to use electronic product like a fish to water. And it’s time to think how to guide and let them have the interest to learn electronics instead of just using it. Let children to learn programming which help on children’s capacity of independent thinking. As more and more people notices on the value of the programming, some Western European countries even prepared to programming classes as primary and secondary schools compulsory. But only writing program will make beginners feel bored, if combines with some hardware devices work together to make some cool feedback, and then be able to attract more young people. Arduino is a great start kit for youth creativity and innovation platform which is an open-source electronics prototyping and wrap the messy details of microcontroller programming into an easy to use package.In this final Year Project, Arduino is introduced and shows how to set up the hardware, software and upload the sketch. There are several mini projects are create using Arduino which could be use at “Arduino Workshop” to bring Arduino and Electronics to youth. Student be having on-hands training for those developed mini project. And get familiar with the Arduino platform and gain the basic knowledge of programming after the workshop.
