Robotics & IoT Lab

What you'll learn

• How electronics, sensors, and microcontrollers work together
• Building real projects: from blinking lights to sensors that respond to the world
• The basics of embedded programming and how code controls hardware
• Connecting devices to the internet to build simple IoT projects
• How to plan, build, and troubleshoot a working prototype

Prerequisites

• None. Beginners are welcome
• Curiosity and a willingness to learn by building
• Access to a basic electronics kit (we will share a low cost parts list, and we help where we can)

Format

• Guided maker sessions with hands-on builds
• A mix of lessons, live guidance, and project work
• Finish by building and showing your own working prototype
• Free of charge, with a verifiable RiseAfrica certificate on completion

Who it's for

• Students and young makers curious about hardware and electronics
• Anyone who likes building physical things, not just software
• Learners across Africa, with no prior experience required
