This week, our research lab had the pleasure of welcoming high school students for an exciting internship. The objective of this initiative, proposed by MUMONS, was to make them discover, through 3 days of activities, the Polytechnic Faculty of Mons, as well as the electrical studies.

 

During a half-day hosted by the ISIA Lab, students had the opportunity to dive into the fascinating world of electronics and learn how the Arduino board works. This electronic card is widely used in DIY and robotics projects, and allows to control electronic devices in real time.

Beyond the quick discovery of some basic concepts, the students had the opportunity to put their knowledge of electricity into practice. They were able to carry out some exciting experiments, such as creating simple electronic circuits with LEDs or to make music.

This internship was an excellent opportunity for students to discover the different facets of electricity and to become familiar with innovative technologies. We hope that this experience will inspire them to continue their studies in electricity and continue to explore the possibilities offered by this fascinating discipline.
