Highlander Engineering is a community in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. We host weekly software and robotic workshops to help students create projects with Arduino and other development frameworks. We hope to ignite a passion for technology and develop valuable skills and experience that will be beneficial in future education and employment environments.
Over this year, you have learned many skills in the field of engineering through our workshops. It is time for you to apply the skills you learned and create a project of your own over a month. This event is open to people of all experience levels. During the month, we will have dedicated workshops, guest speakers and many fun activities.
