Python and Arduino
Technology is no longer just for tech experts—it’s part of everyday life. Whether it’s smart homes, wearable gadgets, or automated machines, we live in a world where digital and physical systems are constantly working together. That’s why learning how to code and build with electronics is such a powerful skill. Python and Arduino are two of the most popular tools used by makers, engineers, and problem-solvers to bring these systems to life.
Python is a beginner-friendly programming language that’s also incredibly powerful. It’s used everywhere—from web apps to artificial intelligence—and is especially known for its clean syntax and huge range of libraries. It’s also widely used in geo-information and data analysis, making it a great skill if you’re working with maps, sensors, or spatial data.
Arduino, on the other hand, is a simple but flexible electronics platform that lets you build devices that interact with the real world. With just a few components and some code, you can build everything from motion-sensing lights to mini weather stations or robots that respond to your commands.
At Geo-ICT, we believe learning Python and Arduino together gives you the best of both worlds. You’ll not only understand how smart systems work, but also build them yourself. Whether you’re looking to boost your career, develop a side project, or just learn something exciting and new, this course gives you the tools to bring your ideas to life.
What will you learn
This course takes you step-by-step through the process of working with both Python and Arduino. You’ll start by setting up your development environment, installing the necessary tools, and learning the basics of each platform. In Python, you’ll learn how to write and run simple scripts, use variables and logic, and interact with external libraries like PySerial to talk to your hardware.
For Arduino, you’ll learn how the boards work, how to upload code (called sketches), and how to connect components like LEDs, sensors, and motors. You’ll explore how to use the Arduino IDE and understand how to communicate between your Arduino and Python through serial connections.
As you progress, you’ll dive into real-world components. You’ll explore sensors that detect motion, temperature, or light, and actuators that can perform actions like turning on lights, rotating motors, or triggering relays. You’ll learn how to collect data from the environment and use your code to make something happen in response.
Most importantly, everything you learn will be applied through hands-on practice. You’ll build simple systems first, then take on more complex projects that bring multiple elements together. By the end of the course, you’ll not only understand how Python and Arduino work—you’ll know how to use them to create something real.

Course structure
Day 1
On day one, you’ll get an introduction to Arduino and learn how to connect and program your board. You’ll explore what types of signals Arduino can read and respond to, and you’ll start learning the basics of Python programming. Exercises on this day focus on getting you comfortable with both platforms—writing your first Python scripts and getting your Arduino up and running.
Day 2
On day two, you’ll learn how to write and upload your own Arduino programs based on assignments. You’ll build a working project using components like sensors and actuators. This day is all about putting your skills to the test. You’ll explore how Python and Arduino can work together, and by the end, you’ll have created a functioning system of your own.
Learning Outcomes
