When we built the YFE Embedded Systems Workshop, we did not guess at what the curriculum should be.
We went through real job descriptions from top hardware firms and built around what they actually require.
Production-level C.
Real RTOS experience, not just awareness of it.
Protocols debugged at register level.
Hardware and firmware as one skill set, not two.
Full engineering cycle: build, test, break, fix, explain.
Every module in our workshop maps directly to a skill firms are filtering for right now.
This is what industry-ready means.
And this is what we are building toward 🤝🏽
Workshop 2.0 is open.

Happy weekend, engineers.
This week had a lot in it: a new Silicon & Systems theme, a milestone we're still smiling about, and a win that reminded us what showing up looks like 🧵
Whatever your week asked of you, you made it to Friday.
That counts.
Rest properly this weekend.
If you have an hour to spare, spend it on something small and hands-on: wire a circuit, sketch a part, push a commit.

Next Monday, something new arrives in your inbox.
Keep an eye out 😉
Happy weekend from YFE Embedded 🩵💜

September became a month of building.
A remote controller, a robot that walks on a rope, and a search-and-rescue function with onboard AI were rebuilt right up to the night before the demo.

They almost dropped out of the competition.
A few weeks later, they won first place 🥳
Congratulations to Joseph, our Core 2 scholarship winner, and his team, who represented Redeemer's University at the SST Makerspace 3.0 Rope-Bot Crawler Challenge at Pan-Atlantic University.

That's how many of you now follow YFE Embedded on LinkedIn, and we want to say thank you properly 🧵
Behind every follower is an engineer, a student, a founder, or a leader who chose to follow a hardware engineering company and community from Africa. We don't take that lightly.

What we're building has not changed: industry-ready engineers in Africa and hardware that solves real problems here.
Thank you for trusting us.
And yes, we're just getting started 🩵💜

You can be fully ready for the job and still lose the application.
Skill gets you ready. Preparation gets you hired 🧵

Last week, we wrapped up Cybersecurity Awareness Month on Silicon & Systems.
Four sessions: the security landscape, the triple A's of cybersecurity, what happens beyond the click, and an open-floor Town Hall.
Tonight, the series takes a new direction.

I love everything that is happening @yfe_embedded this period 🥹
I'll have to step away for a few weeks because of responsibilities I can't skip, but I'm so so grateful for how far God has brought us 🥰
Sometimes, we look at other people's lives, and see it as reason to belittle what we're doing
That shouldn't be the case
Comparison is really the thief of joy
YFE is going to be accepting 8/9 interns this month
A partnership is cooking
And my team is solid, so I don't really need to stress about what's going to happen while I'm away
(Have I mentioned that I love my team a lot 🥹)
I thank God for all He's doing through us, and I know for a fact that it'll only get better 🥰🩵
The lesson here is thank God for how far you've come
Don't compare
And don't let your food get cold looking at somebody else's plate
God is doing great things in YOUR life
Focus on that, and do your best with what He has given you
I say this with love
Happy Tuesday, beautiful people 🤗
Let's have a great one 👑
A HUGE SUCCESS!!! 🥳🎉🎉🎉
Now, on to the next! 🔥
1 event
50+ people
120 minutes of pure value! 🥳🎉
When I decided to host an event in October, I knew I wanted to do something that would bring real value to my audience during my birth month 🥹
@yfe_embedded's Founder's Day event did exactly that, and everyone who attended can say so.
We covered how to position yourself for international opportunities, how to make the most of your undergraduate years, and what it takes to become a WORLD-CLASS engineer 🔥
There was a lot to take home, but a few things stood out for me.
1️⃣ It's not about being perfect. It's about building momentum.
Once you do the first thing, the second gets easier, then the third, then the fourth.
It snowballs, and over time it compounds into results you couldn’t have forced in one go.
2️⃣ Teamwork is a skill worth working on.
Learn to work well with others and get the most out of the team you’re in.
3️⃣ Unpaid internships are not a scam.
That one got people thinking, and I’m glad it did.
I want to say a special thank you to Sir Davis Booth for saying yes to being our guest speaker.
He answered every single question with such patience and genuine care.
You could feel that he wanted every person in that room to leave better than they came.
Even when my internet decided to act up
(Airtel acting like a weapon fashioned against me 🤧)
Everything still went wonderfully well, from the planning before to the follow-up after.
To everyone who attended, thank you for showing up and for the questions you asked.
I know you’re leaving with value.
YFE has never hosted an event that wasn’t built to deliver value, and this one was no different 🙂↔️🔥
Now, on to the next! 💃🏽
If you attended the event, what's one thing you're taking away from it? 😉
Let's have you in the comments 👇🏽
