Report on Infosys Springboard Workshop
Date: 28 August 2024
Venue: PCCOER college campus
Organized by: Infosys Springboard
The Infosys Springboard Workshop was an engaging and insightful event aimed at
enhancing students' practical knowledge in electronics and project development. The
workshop focused on demonstrating and building two key projects: a Traffic Light
Simulator and an Obstruction Detector.
Overview of Projects:
1. Traffic Light Simulator:
○ The workshop began with a demonstration of how a traffic light system
works. The theory behind the timing of red, yellow, and green lights was
explained, along with the coding and wiring involved in simulating a
real-world traffic light system using a microcontroller and LEDs.
2. Door Obstacle Detection Alarm:
○ The second project introduced was an obstruction detector. The working
principle of this project was based on sensors that detect obstacles and
trigger a sound (ring) when an obstruction is encountered. The workshop
provided a detailed explanation of how sensors function and how the
system reacts to varying distances of obstacles.
Learning Sessions:
● Theory and Demonstration:
The session began with a thorough explanation of the theory behind both
projects. We learned how the circuits and sensors work in real-world applications
and were guided through the project components, programming, and electrical
connections. Live demonstrations helped us visualize the functionality of each
project.
● Interactive Quiz:
After the theoretical session, we were given a short quiz to assess our
understanding of the concepts taught. This helped reinforce the learning and
clarify any doubts before moving to the practical phase.
Hands-On Activity:
● Kit Material Distribution:
Once the theory and demonstrations were completed, each participant was
provided with a kit containing all the materials required to build the projects. This
kit included LEDs, resistors, sensors, buzzers, microcontrollers, and other
necessary components.
● Building the Projects:
Under the guidance of instructors, we were taught how to assemble the
components and wire the circuits for both the traffic light simulator and the
obstruction detector. The instructors explained the steps clearly, and we followed
along to successfully create the projects ourselves.
Conclusion:
The Infosys Springboard Workshop was highly educational and provided valuable
hands-on experience. By the end of the workshop, participants had successfully built
both the traffic light simulator and the obstruction detector, gaining practical skills in
electronics and project development. The event was interactive, engaging, and a great
learning opportunity for all attendees.
