Build digital skills. Share what works.

Microcontrollers turn a passive object into one that senses, decides and reacts. This one-day course builds the foundation needed for that: electrical quantities and Ohm's law, reading and building simple circuits, the Arduino board and its programming environment, and the interplay of sensors, code and actuators. It is designed for people with no previous experience in electronics or programming. The first part of the day works from theory to the first working circuit. After a short introduction to the platform, participants cover voltage, current, resistance and power, then identify the components in their kit and their schematic symbols. They build an LED circuit with a series resistor on the breadboard by hand, size the resistor themselves, and extend the circuit with push buttons in series and in parallel to see logical AND and OR behaviour physically before it appears in code. The second part moves to the board. Participants install the development environment, upload a first sketch, and work through digital output, digital input with pull-up resistors, analogue input, PWM, servo control, and light and distance sensing. Libraries are introduced through real components — a temperature and humidity sensor, an addressable LED strip and an I2C display. Every topic has a base exercise and an optional harder variant, so beginners and faster participants progress at their own pace. The day closes with an open block in which each participant designs and builds a small device of their own from the kit. All hardware is provided.

Target: General

Vibe Coding is an AI-supported approach to software development where users collaborate with AI assistants to create digital solutions more efficiently. This workshop provides a practical introduction to building web-based prototypes with modern AI tools. Participants set up Visual Studio Code and use AI coding assistants such as Continue with OpenRouter, Codex, or Claude Code to generate, improve, and debug code. They create their own website using HTML, CSS, and basic JavaScript, test and refine their projects, and publish them via GitHub Pages. The workshop also covers best practices for AI-supported development, including effective prompting, iterative testing, error analysis, secure handling of API keys and private data, and testing applications across different devices.

LEARN IT! CAD Basics introduces beginners to CAD as a practical tool for turning real problems into testable physical prototypes. Participants work on a small personal CAD Challenge and move through the complete development loop: Problem → Geometry → CAD Model → Prototype → Test → Modify. Using Autodesk Fusion, participants learn 2D sketching, parametric 3D modelling, design intent, basic technical documentation and preparation for digital fabrication. The focus is not on learning as many software functions as possible, but on developing the confidence and independence to create, adapt, fabricate and improve simple CAD solutions.
