SERDANG, 24 January 2026 – Department of Mathematics and Statistics continues to expand its efforts in nurturing interest in science and technology through the organization of the Arduino Automation Workshop Episode 1.0, held at the Al-Khaitam Laboratory, Department of Mathematics and Statistics UPM, Faculty of Science.

The workshop, organized in collaboration with Ko-ASAS Sdn. Bhd., involved the participation of 14 students from both primary and secondary schools. The program aimed to provide early exposure to the fundamentals of automation and the use of the Arduino platform in developing electronic systems.

Throughout the workshop, participants were introduced to basic electronic components, circuit assembly techniques, and simple programming methods using Arduino. Hands-on activities were also conducted, allowing participants to build simple automation projects, thereby enhancing their understanding of real-world technological applications.

The program not only offered an interactive learning experience but also helped cultivate participants’ interest in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) from a young age. Participants also had the opportunity to engage directly with facilitators experienced in the field.

The organization of this workshop reflects UPM’s commitment to supporting the development of young talent while strengthening strategic collaborations with industry and the community. It is hoped that such initiatives will continue in the future to produce a generation that is technologically literate and highly innovative.
