Class Experience:
This multi-week beginner course is perfect for young learners curious about electronics and robotics!
Using the free Tinkercad platform, students will simulate real-world circuits without needing physical parts.

Each class is a 60-minute interactive session with a balance of:
- Live demonstrations (via screen-share)
- Guided step-by-step building
- Fun quizzes and polls
- Mini-challenges

Interactive discussions

What will be taught?
- Core concepts of electricity: voltage, current, resistance
- How to build basic circuits with LEDs, resistors, buzzers, and switches
- Simulation techniques using Tinkercad (a tool used by engineers and designers!)
- Real-world robotics applications
- Designing an independent mini project

Topics Covered:
- Week 1: Introduction to Tinkercad & Building a Simple LED Circuit
- Week 2: Resistors and Switches – Make a Blinking LED
- Week 3: Buzzers and Sensors – Create a Sound Alarm
- Week 4: Mini Project Challenge – Build Your Own Virtual Circuit

Teaching Style:
- Hands-on and interactive
- Friendly and patient approach — no rushing!
- Visual explanations for easier understanding
- Encouraging creativity in final projects

Learner Interaction:
- Learners can ask questions anytime during class.
- Screenshare will be encouraged for troubleshooting.
- Peer sharing during final project showcase.

Learning Goals

Build and simulate basic electronic circuits confidently.
Understand foundational electronics concepts like voltage, current, and resistance.

Other Details

Learning Needs
This class is intentionally supportive of students with ADHD, ASD, and Dyslexia. Visual Learning: Clear slides and visual simulations in Tinkercad. Step-by-Step Instructions: Short, structured tasks help maintain focus.
Parental Guidance
Parental assistance is recommended for the first class to help learners create a free Tinkercad account and ensure their computer setup is ready. After the initial setup, learners should be able to navigate Tinkercad and participate independently. Parents are encouraged to help if any technical issues arise during the course. All content will be age-appropriate, and safety guidelines for online learning will be followed.
Pre-Requisites
No prior experience needed! Basic familiarity with using a computer (drag and drop, typing) is helpful.
