Problem
STEM education has largely prioritized the work of white men, while minimizing, omitting, or perpetuating harmful stereotypes about the knowledge and contributions of STEM leaders of color.
Students from communities underrepresented in STEM careers may be unaware of STEM career opportunities beyond the basics, and they often don’t “see” themselves represented in the field, making them feel like they don’t belong.
Solution
Educate yourself about how you can get paid to follow your passion and do world-changing work through STEM. Then educate your friend(s) about real-life STEM professionals, so that they can find their dream STEM careers, too.
How Viable Is Arduino In Ventures?
Arduino isn't actually an industry cordial microcontroller. It would be somewhat inaccurate for us to consider it a microcontroller. Arduino is a finished prototyping climate. It is broadly utilized by designing understudies to plan a straightforward working model of their thought.
It is exceptionally improbable for AVR to discover any spot in industry as it is extremely unique in nature which isn't needed in industry, in addition it is to some degree expensive contrasted with other Microcontrollers.
The Arduino UNO R3 from Arduino is referred to as most well known microcontrollers as it is utilized in the enormous field of online local area that has created numerous activities. To screen the temperature or stickiness in your home or the outside, The Arduino controls a robot to make the auto equilibrium itself, The Arduino has numerous flexible and practical set that can be handily applied in a few Do-It-Yourself applications.
On account of Mechanical Industry,PLC is alluded to be the most processing gadget to control robotization. It is essentially made for assembling plants. Be that as it may, the substitution of Arduino to PLC as a rule address the substantial costly factors for the mechanical explanation as it conveys the enormous distinction of cost among PLC and Arduino. PLC can be many dollars and Arduino sheets can be twenty or thirty dollars.
PLC has the effect from other registering gadgets as they are proposed for extreme conditions found in assembling plants. PLC can deal with dust, higher and lower temperature and even likewise dampness however then again ,Arduino isn't viable to deal with the ecological conditions.
PLC lies different highlights like it has more broad information sources/yields to associate with different sensors and actuators. A PLC can yield to different components including electronic engines, attractive Ray's, alarms, pointer lights and substantially more.
These everything is likewise done by Arduino yet in a restricted variant as its simple sources of info are just gone from O-5V and the simple yields are beat width tweak (PWM).
In the event that PLC are appropriate for the Mechanical Business, it doesn't imply that Arduino can't be good for the Modern Business. Arduino is a lot of master for assortment of information, so if there is a need to gather temperature and moistness, you can easily insert the Arduino programming to monitor many variables. It will offer the ideal chance to check the issues with apparatus.
More limited size Enterprises ordinarily upholds the Arduino framework. The Arduino sensors and it's wide assortment of safeguards can be utilized to make Do-It-Yourself arrangements at home.
Picking Arduino is extraordinary answers for all little homestead that you can assemble yourself at home,but assuming it is the matter of track information and cycle, it can likewise be used for huge scope projects.
Frustrations
Following other developers, learners and makers are great. It facilitates learning and gives inspiration
But one thing that is often missing from people telling about how it is going, is the failures, frustrations and problems any developer will run into.
For this reason, two of my favorite maker youtube channels are Extractions&Ire (Chemistry) and Code Bullet (machine learning). Because these madlads are brave enough to not just show their process and result, but also their failures, mistakes and errors. And how they overcome them. Not always by learning (Sometimes making a dumb mistake is not really something you can learn from...)
It's good, because it's real.
Code tutorials and guides can give the impression that the normal process of development is "Open IDE, code, fix tiny typo error, compile, success". They don't do it out of malice, but out of a want to be concise. Which is fair.
So I also want to share when things do not go so well. I have programmed Atmel's AVR Chips for quite a while now. But I have done it mostly in microchip studio(former Atmel studio) and a bit in the arduino IDE. A job I am currently applying for, uses visual studio code. Which is fair enough. So to prepare for this specific job, and to acquire this quite good-to-have skill, I want to set that up for myself First things first, since I have not done this before, I cannot know if my code would have a weird error so I want to know everything else is working first. So I write a tiny program which simply have the microcontroller increase a number every 2 seconds and write it to my PC over UART. Takes 2 minutes.... I grab one of my Arduino Nano boards and a USB cable for it. And then... I cannot flash it... Its communication protocol have troubles.
I have seen this before. It is to do with the cables not being correct. If they are USB 2.0, very little magnetic noise can cause trouble. (And you cannot tell if a cable runs USB 2.0 or 3.0 by looking at it... because the universal serial bus is not universal... Insert grump rant here) I then spend an hour finding and trying different USB A to USB B-mini cables. Give up, notes down to buy (and MARK) some USB 3.0 versions for the future. I then grab a Arduino Uni instead, as they use USB B, which is much more resistant to noise... And then spend half an hour trying to find a the cable, as I do not have a lot of them, since... nearly nothing uses them. Finally find it, and yes, the program can now be flashed. So I packed all the cables I tested back in their places, after marking them so I will(hoefully) not have to do this again. Had to take several breaks feeling depressed and grumpy, and all in all, this adventure took 4-5 hours. And now I can START on this... And this is how work sometimes is. And that is ok. It is still... VERY frustrating ...
Bio-monitoring with plants!

LED STOCKINGS made with materials from Adafruit and firewalkers circuit and code :D I intended to record better video, make gifs, whatever, but that takes away time from making more blinky stuff! So that's been unacceptable ;p I HAVE been documenting all my cosplay and crafty blinkybeepy things so that I have the OPTION to make writeups buuuut I have a functionally infinite project list while I slowly work on the skills to make the light and sound and animatronic costumes of my dreams 83
Here's me testing an itty-bitty bot that uses kiwi drive. It's only running a simple test program that moves a single servo arm and one omni wheel, bit it gets the point across! I'll upload another video with the finished program and bot once I'm done. Yay, arduino!
