A Workshop on Robotics ARDUINO
The Prince Al-Hussein Bin Abdullah II Faculty of Information Technology at Al al-Bayt University organized a workshop in collaboration with Pioneers Academy for Training and Consulting, KOFAA for Educational Technology Consulting, and Wasleh Company. The event took place in the computer labs of the Muslim Building at Al al-Bayt University.
The workshop was inaugurated by the Dean of the Prince Al-Hussein Bin Abdullah II Faculty of Information Technology, Professor Mohammed Issa Al-Jaradat. He welcomed the students and the organizing companies, emphasizing the faculty's commitment to providing free workshops for students, which are often costly when held outside the university. He also highlighted the commitment of the university's president, Professor Osama Nasir, to enhancing students' skills in various fields of their specializations. He noted the faculty's active participation in local and international programming competitions and its dedication to organizing curricular and extracurricular activities. The Dean also stressed the importance of involving the private sector in such activities to develop students' abilities and personalities.
Mr. Ayman Al-Lahham, Public Relations Manager of Pioneers Academy, spoke about the academy’s decade-long collaboration with Al al-Bayt University, aiming to provide students with practical skills and certified training. He affirmed the academy's commitment to supporting students by offering a free course.
The certified trainer, Engineer Abdulhaq Yaqoub, gave a general introduction to robotics, their invention, applications, and functions. He also explained how to program robots using Arduino, a platform widely used in electronic projects, ranging from robotics to various interactive applications. He demonstrated how Arduino interacts with sensors to connect to the physical world, convert sensor readings into data, and analyze it. Based on the programmed "codes," the robot can then make decisions, such as activating motors, lights, or sound sources.
The workshop was attended by a large number of students from the faculty and lab supervisors from the Imam Muslim Building.
