# Event Details - **Event Name**: Building Your Own Smart Light - **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 31 May, 2026 at 01:00 pm – Sun, 31 May, 2026 at 03:00 pm - **Event Description**: In this hands-on electronics and coding workshop, participants will build their own remote-controlled, dimmable, color-changing tea light while learning the fundamentals of programming and interactive electronics. Students will explore how code can control LEDs, read analog input from a potentiometer, and use those signals to adjust the brightness and color of multiple lights in real time. Perfect for beginners and makers alike, this workshop introduces core concepts in coding, circuits, and creative technology through a fun, project-based experience. Participants will leave with practical skills in electronics prototyping and microcontroller programming, along with a custom light project they helped design and build. No experience needed, just bring your curiosity!
