Are You Ready for a Global Challenge? Thales Project Arduino is coming to The University of Florida– win a trip to a Thales Research Center anywhere Globally and a Fitbit Alta HR!

If coding and technology is your passion, then we’ve got something for you – Project Arduino by Thales!

Here’s how it works:

• It starts off with an info-session for you to learn more about Thales and Project Arduino at your university. (see dates below)
• If you are up for the challenge Register your interest at www.thalesarduino.com.
• We will then select 24 students to participate in a workshop at your university where our Thales Engineers will teach you about the Arduino platform and its capabilities.
• You and your team will have 2 weeks to create a Thales inspired project using Arduino.

What’s in it for you?

• Not only will you be competing against students from your own university, you’ll compete against students from other universities across the US and the chance to compete against teams across the UK, France, Netherlands, China, Hong Kong and Singapore to be crowned the Global Arduino Champions and the chance to visit a Thales Research Center in one of the countries participating in Project Arduino.
• You will pick up new skills you might not learn in the classroom, plus working in cross-functional teams and problem solving skills that will translate into your professional career.

Dates to know:

• Thales will have a booth in the Harris Rotunda of the New Engineering Building (NEB) on October 3rd from 10 am-1:30 pm or you can attend our Info-Session on October 3rd from 6:00 pm-7:00 pm in 202 NEB, hosted by IEEE, to learn more about the competition.
• If you are selected to compete in the competition our Workshop date will take place October 18^th, 5:00 pm-7:00 pm, location TBD.
