Combating COVID-19 Conference: schedule and how to join

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 ROOM 1, LINK TO 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.

The conference schedule is as follows:

5:00 – 5:30pm CEST – Plenary Introductory Session – LINK TO ROOM 1

• David Cuartielles, “The Arduino Community Response to the COVID-19 Outbreak.”

5:30 – 7:00pm CEST – Session 1: Arduino-Based Ventilators and Medical Devices

7:00 – 8:30pm CEST – Session 2: Legal and Technological Challenges

There are different channels to join the discussion with the Arduino team and community:
