An understanding of the safe creation and handling of electronics can be one of the modern world’s most useful skills. From computer science, to robotics, to DIY projects, students often find that electricity and electrical engineering are fundamental to many future hands-on interest and fields.
In Essential Electronics, Adventurers will be introduced to the basic concepts of electrical engineering in a safe, fun environment. Instructors will show students how to create an electrical circuit and how to manipulate them to create ever more complex systems.
By the end of the workshop, students will be able to safely program a circuit board to demonstrate simple electronic behaviors.
Projects in this workshop may include: Designing an electronic creature or creating a traffic light system.
