Combating COVID-19 Conference: A Collaborative Arduino Community Initiative will take place today, April 2nd starting at 5pm CEST.
The online event will be streamed via Zoom. From 5:00 to 5:30pm, there will be only one streaming channel (LINK HERE). After that, we’ll break out into two different rooms (LINK TO ZOOM ROOM 1, LINK TO ZOOM ROOM 2).
There are different ways to participate: presenting an Arduino-based solution to tackle COVID-19 (the call for projects is now closed), supporting other community projects, providing expert advice, or asking the Arduino team for some support.
