Anyone here familiar with arduino and the fun projects you can use it for? If you are not,here is a link you can checkout for some arduino projects for kids arduino projects for kids.
My question now is, have you ever seen or heard of a school in Nigeria that teaches fun arduino project either for free or not for free? Teaching fun arduino project is the best way to introduce kids to both robotics and programming but there are some problems
1. Cost of arduino kit in Nigeria
taking away the cost Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
2. Buying it from a country oversees and shipping to Nigeria
3. How many percent of Nigeria's tech teachers knows what arduino is?
Considering those facts, Arduino fun project is not a project for primary/secondary schools even universities and polytechnics rather a project for a school dedicated to teaching arduino.After some months of thinking, i came up with an idea although it wont be a free school it will at least introduce Nigeria kids to little programming and also basic introduction to robotics. Y'all should already know what it is by now, if our governments can't provide what i see as a necessity in the life of the future leader of tomorrow let us provide it for them. in other words the solution is to start an arduino school. i Know it will be a big project but with the proper support and individual contribution, it will work out.
Am open to opinions and if you are interested please let me know.
