Innovation: Even though the concept of teaching STEM with microcontrollers is not something new in advance countries, but we haven't started that in Nigeria, that is why our graduate lack skills to solve real-life problems. A part from introducing the concept in the country, the price per module is also cheap since the module utilize the use of local home-made materials.

Sector/Industry Application: Industry, Robotics, Agriculture

Description: Currently in our tertiary institute, teaching science and engineering-based courses are more of theoretical rather than practical implementation. This makes the best students to understand only the concept but lack the skills to apply it in real-life. The world is now in digital form, everything is now connected to computer and chips. Therefore, using a cheap microcontroller module where students can have hands-on practice with real-life robots to design, analyze, evaluate and create systems, the theory-practical gap can be shrunken when incorporated in the student laboratories and workshops. This small microcontroller-based arm propeller will provide a chance for undergraduate and also postgraduate students to use it in many engineering disciplines especially Electrical, Computer, Mechatronics, Telecommunications and Mechanical Engineering. Likewise courses in Computer Science like Artificial Intelligence. Courses like introduction to Engineering, Control Systems, Signal and Systems, DSP, Artificial Intelligence and Applications, Embedded Systems and a lot more can benefit directly form the module.

Problem: Bridging the gap between theory and skills-to-implement in STEM education
