Description

The Creative Electronics course introduced students to the basics of electronics and guided them in the construction of a creative electronics project of their choosing. The course focused on hands-on experience and was project-based, with most in-class time spent on experimentation and building. Students were supplied with an in-course kit consisting of an Arduino, breadboard, and common electrical components. Students learned how to read circuit diagrams and datasheets, construct simple circuits, and write code to interface with circuits and create responsive, interactive projects.
