What Will Students Learn? Students will explore electronics, coding, and robotics using Arduino, Micro:bit, and Tinkercad. They’ll design, build, and simulate interactive projects like LED displays, buzzers, motor controls, and simple robots. Class Structure Each session follows a structured, hands-on approach: - Concept introduction (5-10 min) - Live demonstration & guided building (20-30 min) - Interactive Q&A, testing & feedback (10 min) How Do We Teach? We use live instruction, real-time simulations, and hands-on coding to ensure students grasp concepts while building exciting projects. Our Teaching Style Engaging, practical, and project-driven! We break down complex concepts into fun, interactive lessons that spark creativity and problem-solving. Student Interaction & Engagement Students participate in live demos, coding challenges, simulations, and discussions. They’ll get direct feedback, troubleshoot projects, and showcase their creations in every session.
