Community Service Program: Basic Arduino Programming/Robotics Education for Elementary Students in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Abstract

This Community Service Program (CSP) focuses on introducing basic Arduino programming and robotics to elementary school students in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The program aims to provide early exposure to programming concepts and hands-on robotics experience, fostering interest in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields. Through interactive workshops, students were guided to create simple robotic projects using Arduino kits, enhancing their creativity, logical thinking, and problem-solving skills. Results showed increased student engagement and understanding of foundational STEM concepts. This initiative supports Malaysia’s educational goals by cultivating technological skills in young learners, preparing them for a future in a digitalized world.
