FAQ

What is Arduino Days?

Arduino Days is a worldwide celebration of Arduino’s birthday, bringing people together to share their experiences and learn more about the open-source platform.

In addition to the official Arduino event, which will be streamed live, there will be many parallel and local events organized by our communities around the world (check the previous Events tab for events near you).

Who can participate?

All user groups, makerspaces, hackerspaces, fablabs, associations, teachers, schools, professionals, start-ups and newbies are welcome. In other words, everyone!

What can you do during Arduino Days?

You’re more than welcome to attend (free of charge) any of the online activities listed in the Program for the official Arduino Days event.

Alternatively, why not organise an event for your community, or go along to one of the local events pinpointed on the map of the world?

It doesn’t matter whether you’re a maker, an engineer, a designer, a developer or an educator: Arduino Days is open to anyone who wants to celebrate the amazing things that have been created with the open-source platform.

The events will feature different types of activities, tailored to local audiences all over the world.

How can I watch or participate in the official Arduino Days events?

Arduino Days will be streamed live on this website homepage and on our Youtube channel.

The recording for each of the days will be then available online on our Official Youtube channel.

How can I organize a community event?

To get started, just follow these simple steps:

  1. Plan your activities considering different ways of engaging with your audience, such as talks, panel discussions, hands-on workshops, and showcases. The activities should be open to the public and free of charge.
  2. Complete the online form here.
  3. Once your event has been approved for inclusion, you’ll receive a confirmation email along with a link to download your Arduino Days Digital Kit. A pin will also be added to the map on the Arduino Days page (you can mark your event as "online").

Don’t forget to share a link to your event's agenda and to share your initiative on social media. Post and follow along with all of the day's fun with the hashtag #ArduinoDays2026.

Can I organize a community event online?

Yes, events can either be in-person or online. Just make sure to mark your event as "online" when you submit your application.

Why haven't I received a confirmation email?

Please be sure to check your spam folder.

Why is my pin not on the map?

After your application, we’ll need a week to process your submission. Please be patient.

If we are organizing an Arduino Day event with other local groups, should we submit more than one application?

No, just one application will suffice. Please just add all the names of the organizations involved on the form.

What can I do with the Digital Kit?

The Digital Kit includes several online and offline collaterals to help you promote your community event. You can use the Digital Kit to customize your event with the official Arduino Days graphics.
