This intro to electronics class combines theory with hands on exercises to provide a fun, engaging experience for all students. Students will learn fundamental principles of electricity, circuits, and components – the foundation of the electronic devices we use every day! Students will also have plenty of hands on experience building circuits. During this five-day, week-long class we will build a simple synthesizer and a robot that chases the sun (kits included with class tuition). Students will also learn how to solder!!!
