The last week was fully devoted by the participants to transform their ideas into a working project under the guidance of their respective mentors. Participants came up with innovative ideas and the potential problems that their implementation can solve. Then starting from scratch, they developed their schematics, board file, and bill of material and then went on to the fabrication process. With a working board in their hand, the on-board peripherals were made to function as required with a well-defined coding algorithm. The participants finally had their ideas realised in the form of a working project.
The following are the project ideas put forth and pursued by various participants.
