Engineering is better when you build it.

“The workshop was really interesting as a first experience with embedded systems. The host was very engaging and passionate about it. Sadly, there was not enough time to cover all the topics and exercises that he had planned.”

“A great presentation that lasted for 3.5 hours! All the expected topics, accelerometer vs gyroscope, basics of embedded control systems, introduction to ESP32, sensor fusion & 3D visualization, were quite interesting. While the participants could not fully program the controller themselves during the training, a GitHub repository was provided so that we can refer to the repo when we are stuck. It would be great to have more workshops like this in future! Thanks Fred for showcasing your project and imparting your knowledge.”

“I really enjoyed this course. It was all well explained step by step. We could program each step ourselves to understand what we are doing. And still, there was a working version available in case we fell behind or couldn't be bothered at some stages. All questions were answered or taken into interesting, insightful discussions. Some problems were solved 42Style: I don't know what I did, it just works. Don't touch it any further. It is nice to have this course in NXTSpace and with members from other institutions. This is great for the connection between the different institutions of Bildungscampus. The laptops were provided by MakerSpace. I really like the idea of all working together, providing resources where they can easily do so. It also means that I, as a person, get recognised in those different places as they know about each other and the institution where I am a member. It might need a course beforehand for peers who have no idea about embedded programming at all. I have looked into embedded programming myself, done a beginners' course at MakerSpace, and looked into the Arduino Starter Kit. Also, gdb debugging during the L3 Cybersecurity Track gave me an understanding of registers and directly addressing them. I would not have known about the addresses of the registers we directly used when programming the ESP microcontroller. There was also this encouragement to just try things out and provide courses by ourselves, as here we have these opportunities and resources. It doesn't matter if we make mistakes. Someone will learn from or enjoy the course we give, whatever level it might be.”

“10 out of 10. It was really interesting in how to start tinkering with sensors. Fred put a lot of work into it, with already prepared code examples and checkpoints to better follow along. NXTSpace is also a beautifully located space with a lot of opportunities. It was great to see 42, NXTSpace and MakerSpace connected.”

“It was really interesting, everything was great, and it was all interactive, meaning you could build the circuit yourself, try to make it work, and figure out how it works.”

“Very nice event and I would love to see more in the future. For the time we had, this structure was the best. Another alternative could be for the same event to be split into 2–3 parts, with some days in between to work on each part on our own (only the code, of course) and review it. Also, I would love to see something like an IoT/Embedded Systems team with weekly meetings and projects.”
