Bell group PhD student and Arduino enthusiast, Ezra Kitson, was awarded a student experience grant in the winter 2021 round of applications alongside Tasnim Hanafiah, a 2nd year undergraduate biology student.
The award was to start an Arduino group open to all students at the university. Arduino is an open source electronics platform that provides a fun and accessible way to learn about electronics and microcontroller programming.

I remember being so passionate about my research, but the sheer weight of the exam season nearly derailed everything I was working toward. I was so stretched for time between my project deadlines and my finals that I actually ended up reaching out to an online exam help service just to make sure I didn't lose my academic standing while chasing my goals. It’s a tough balancing act, and seeing students like Ezra succeed reminds me of how important it is to have both the drive to succeed and the right support systems in place. Can't wait to see what Ezra does next with the grant!
