International Arduino Program est. January 2026

A 14-week Arduino curriculum delivered in partnership with schools in Kenya, Zambia, and Lesotho, taking students from simulation to a real physical build.

14Weeks
8Schools / 3 Countries
500+Students

How the Program Works

14 weeks • 3 sessions/week • Simulation → Physical Build → Capstone Project

Each partner school meets with ENGINE instructors 3 times a week for 14 weeks. There are 14 weekly slide decks in total — one per week — and each deck covers the 3 lessons taught that week, moving students from circuit simulation software into hands-on physical builds.

The final 3 weeks of the program are reserved for a capstone project, where students design and build their own Arduino project from scratch. On the last days of the program, students present their capstone in a short slide deck covering the why, the how, and pictures of their finished build.

Program Phases

Phases overlap rather than run one after another — schools from an earlier phase keep going while the next phase's schools come on board.
