The training, led by a group of volunteer engineering students from the American University, focused on key aspects of programming basics essential for newcomers in the field. Topics covered included problem-solving steps, task execution, providing hands-on experience in programming electricity, lights, and electrical sensors, and imparting the necessary data and information relevant to programming.
A well-defined plan and schedule were established to ensure the effective implementation of these courses, taking place weekly at the university's premises for a month and a half. This underscores the foundation's commitment to bolstering the academic aspect of its support.
