| Description | Electrify your projects so that they light up, move, and respond
to the environment. This electronics class is for beginner and
intermediate students, and will cover basic circuitry with an
emphasis on practical applications for creative projects. We will
learn how to identify and utilize components, how to experiment
and work safely, and how to build projects with embedded
circuits. We will combine wood, plastic, and other materials with
lights, motors, and simple sensors to build electromechanical
devices that we can interact with. Students must be prepared to
engage in hands-on tool use in a supportive environment, and able
to devote 6 - 10 hours a week outside of scheduled class time to
work on projects. Keywords:electronics, circuitry, fabricate, design, kinetic |
