The Department of Computer Science at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), in collaboration with Transfer Multisort Elektronik (TME) Education, has successfully hosted Arduino Day 2025, a two-day event aimed at equipping participants with practical skills in electronics, microcontroller programming, and hardware prototyping using Arduino-based educational boards.
The event brought together students, technology enthusiasts, and industry professionals to explore advancements in embedded systems and hardware development.
Dr. Oliver Kornyo, Coordinator for Arduino Day 2025, highlighted the significance of practical learning in keeping up with the fast-paced, evolving technology landscape.
“The training sessions will not only expose you to emerging technologies but also provide practical insights that will enhance problem-solving abilities, creativity, and real-world application of technology,” he stated.
He further revealed that KNUST has been designated as an Arduino Centre, a move aimed at closing the gap between academia and industry. Dr Kornyo appealed to investors to support technology-driven initiatives and help expand the programme.
&As part of efforts to expand the initiative, Dr. Kornyo revealed plans to collaborate with STEM schools and establish technology and innovation clubs to train students in developing solutions through technology.
