Local makers from all walks of life showcase their Arduino powered projects. An Arduino consists of both a physical programmable circuit board (often referred to as a microcontroller) and a piece of software, or IDE (Integrated Development Environment) that runs on your computer, used to write and upload computer code to the physical board.

With each contestant solving various problems with Arduino technology ranging from the logistics, security, ecological, to the personal.

In the end, all of us were winners as the ideas discussed during the event will definitely push the Cebu community into greater heights.
