WHAT IS ARDUINO ?
Arduino is an open-source prototyping platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software. Arduino boards are able to read inputs – light on a sensor, a finger on a button, or a Twitter message – and turn it into an output – activating a motor, turning on an LED, publishing something online. You can tell your board what to do by sending a set of instructions to the microcontroller on the board. To do so you use the Arduino programming language (based on Wiring), and the Arduino Software (IDE), based on Processing.
ABOUT ARDUINO DAY
Arduino Day is a worldwide celebration of Arduino’s birthday. It’s a 24 hours-long event –organized directly by the community, or by the Arduino team– where people interested in Arduino get together, share their experiences, and learn more. Not sure what on Earth is Arduino? Find out at our event or visit http://www.arduino.cc.
Arduino have became a very popular platform and this year will be the 11th birthday of it. Fablab Saigon will be joining in on the world-wide celebration of Arduino Day on April 2nd. Like the last year, we will have a really big birthday cake for all of you 😀
OUR OBJECTIVES
- Introduce newbies to the world of Arduino boards and their exciting possibilities. Newbies will have a hands-on experience at it !
- Enable existing users of Arduino boards to showcase their Arduino projects.
- Grow an Arduino community in Vietnam and connect it with the global Arduino community.

Actually we have to use the phrase “Genuino Day” instead of “Arduino Day”. But people are very common with the phrase “Arduino” so we decided to use the phrase “Arduino Day”. We will explain this clearly in the introduction talk of the event. We will use the phrase “Genuino Day” in 2017 and further time.
