April 21, 2023

On the 21st of April, 2023, the ARM (E³)ngage Ashesi University Student Club proudly hosted the inaugural ARM-y Maker Fair. This momentous event aimed to showcase the incredible projects and creations of our club members to the larger Ashesi community. Attendees included faculty interns, and students from Ashesi University, as well as members of the ARM (E³)ngage Community, including the community manager. With the theme of "Fostering Research, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship Through Community," we aimed to inspire collaboration and celebrate the spirit of creativity.

The event kicked off at 10:30 AM, as our talented presenters set up their projects for passers-by to marvel at. The atmosphere buzzed with excitement and anticipation.

We were honored to have Marilyn Appenteng deliver the opening remarks, setting the tone for an extraordinary showcase of innovation and talent.

Throughout the event, interviews with the various presenters took place, providing valuable insights into their projects. Visitors eagerly explored the diverse range of creations on display, gaining inspiration and exchanging ideas.

Projects were thoughtfully categorized into three types:

1. Project Demonstrations: These projects allowed attendees to witness the workings of innovative systems firsthand, providing a tangible experience of their functionality.



2. Project Simulations: Presenting models and the tests conducted on those models, these projects demonstrated advanced simulations and their potential real-world applications.



3. Proposals: Showcasing projects still in the planning phase, these presentations highlighted the exciting possibilities and future prospects of the club's members.

As part of the event, we also took the opportunity to honor the winners of a recently held club coding competition, presenting them with well-deserved awards and recognition.

With a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction, the event drew to a close, culminating in a delightful feast served to both the participants and visitors. The shared meal fostered further connections and discussions, strengthening the bonds within our vibrant community.
