-Learning embedded systems can be daunting task. The information available on the internet is scattered and not always explained in ways that a beginner can understand and turn into a reliable skill. The team has been through that journey and it took them a decade to feel confident. A lot of time could have been saved had the information been organized in one place and presented in a structured manner.

+          - "**How?**: By creating organised learning tracks which focus on skills."
+          - "**Why?**: Just because we felt people loose a lot of time trying to research and learn the basics on there own. We feel we can explain the basics very clearly, save time and enable the learner to have impact.Learning embedded systems can be daunting task.
