Arduino Day Kenya 2015
Celebrating all things Arduino
Intel at DeKUT, GDG Kimathi University and Computer Society of Kimathi will be hosting the Kenyan officially-licensed Arduino Day celebration in Nyeri on the 28th of March, 2015.
Arduino day is a worldwide celebration of Arduino’s birthday and the makers’ movement where people interested in Arduino get together, share their experiences, and learn more.
The event will provide a great opportunity to talk with fellow hackers, show off your project and listen to experiences from other people.The event event is called Arduino day but in real open source spirit other systems like Intel Galileo will be discussed.
It does not matter whether you are an expert or a newbie, an engineer, a designer, a crafter or a maker, Arduino day Kenya 2015 is open to anyone who wants to celebrate Arduino and all things Arduino.
It will be an all-day affair from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm where we will engage our audiences in different ways such as talks, panel discussion and show-and tell sessions. The event will be open to the public and is free of charge.Sign up for free tickets here.
Below is the Agenda:
· Sign up at front Desk 8: 30 am — 9.00 am
· Welcoming the new Intel Student Partners (DeKUT Team ) 9: 30 am- 10.00 am
The event will give the audience a good opportunity to be enlightened on the Intel Student Partners program at DeKUT. They will get to know what the new partnership spells out for them, and the perks it brings.
· Presentation: Intel and Arduino Partnership 10.00am — 10.30 am
During this session, the audience will know more about the partnership between Intel and Arduino. The audience will be introduced briefly to Intel Galileo and its specs, including its compatibility with Arduino Software Development Environment (IDE).
· Disruptive innovation by Intel Galileo/Arduino 10:30 am- 11.00 pm
Enhanced technology that replaces an existing technology or that succeeds similar technology and uses either Arduino or Intel Galileo will be discussed during this session.
· IoT Startup x — hour 1:00 pm- 2.00 pm
Absolutely no doubt about it, the IoT is influencing and changing our world. We therefore need to give the promising IoT start-ups a chance to talk about their products. Various start up projects that incorporate IoT and have gained recognition in competitions will be showcased to the attendees.
· IoT with Arduino and Intel Galileo 2.00 pm — 3.00 pm
An Intel affiliated speaker will give a talk on the various ways Intel and Arduino are on the forefront of making IoT a present day reality. A panel will also discuss about how students can get involved in current trends in technology (IoT), prototyping and its future and how they can use the boards in their future innovations.
· Intel and Arduino projects Showcase/Exhibitions 3.00 pm — 5.00 pm
One other thing about DeKUT, is that we are crazy about micro-controller boards and admire people who can use them properly. During this session, students having projects running on both Arduino and Galileo environments will showcase what they have done. Demonstrations will be carried out, enabling students to fully appreciate Arduino and Intel technology. This will be a good exposure for student to the world of Arduino and Intel Galileo Innovations.
Lets make it count, Let’s make the biggest Micro-controller birthday party ever! Thank you for reading! We will be sending more Arduino Day Kenya 2015 details your way soon. Hashtag #ArduinoDKE15 #ArduinoD15
