About The Course

We are surrounded by machines that work on electricity—from the ceiling fan to the microwave, the electronic water heater to the television; they are everywhere! It is almost impossible to live without these electricity-dependent equipment.

Have you ever wondered how these machines work?

The answer is electronics! Electronics is the study of the components that, when combined together in the right way, lead to the manufacturing of such wonderful and helpful devices and appliances that you see and use every day.

In this course, you will learn the very basics of electronics. You will be exposed to concepts, such as resistance, conductance, types of circuits and Ohm’s law, which are the building blocks of the electronics industry.

You will also be practically introduced to advanced topics, such as hybrid circuits, logic gate circuits, transistors and light sensors, and their applications.

In this course, your learning is not limited to videos. You will receive an exciting Inventors Toolkit that you can use for Do-It-Yourself (DIY) projects. Build 70+ fun electronics projects that will help you explore the wonders of the world of electronics.
