The IEEE Education Society (Edusoc) Malaysia Chapter co-organized a STEM activity at SJKT Kangar on 13th January 2025 to inspire young minds in the field of programming and electronics. The Coding 1.0 event served as an introductory short course designed to introduce school students to fundamental programming concepts.

During the session, students had the opportunity to gain hands-on experience using the WiFi Uno-based ESP8266 microcontroller. They explored basic coding principles and learned how to write simple programs to interact with the hardware, fostering their understanding of embedded systems and IoT applications. The event has been collaborated with the IEEE Electron Device Society (EDS) Malaysia Chapter.

A total of 20 students actively participated in the workshop.

Keywords: Basic programming

Achievements

The students had the opportunity to engage in practical exercises that enhanced their problem-solving and computational thinking skills. This initiative aimed to spark their interest in STEM fields and equip them with essential coding knowledge, setting the foundation for future learning in technology and engineering.

Congratulations to Assoc. Prof. Ts. Dr. Thennarasan Sabapathy and team for his success with the significant event in SJKT Kangar, 01000 Kangar, Perlis
