ICFOSS invites you to apply for our 60-Hour Paid Offline Internship on “Open Hardware & Robotics”. This exciting, hands-on offline internship program takes you out of the classroom and straight into a lab to turn boring textbook theory into live, working gadgets. Gain hands-on experience using industry-standard tools like Arduino, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi.
This serves as an excellent opportunity for college students to gain practical industry experience, enhance the technical skills, and bridge the gap between academic learning and real-world applications in Open Hardware and Robotics. The internship is scheduled to be held from 15th to 26th June 2026 .
You will master microcontroller programming, connect cool sensors, write Python code on Linux systems, and link your projects to the cloud using IoT (Internet of Things). By experimenting with real parts and motors, you will discover exactly how smart machines see, think, communicate, and react to the world around them.
This program combines expert coaching and fun lab challenges, wrapping up with a guided capstone project where you will build a real-world smart device from scratch. Whether you want to master smart automation, dominate the robotics field, or just supercharge your career, this internship is your perfect launchpad .
Participants will engage in practical exercises, laboratory sessions, and guided project development activities throughout the training to reinforce their understanding of embedded systems and robotics concepts. The program will also introduce participants to cloud-based monitoring systems, web-enabled device control, wireless communication technologies, and intelligent robotic applications used in modern industries.
