Basics of Electronics

The basic electronics course for children based on the BBC micro:bit is designed to introduce students to the fundamentals of electronics and programming. Throughout the course, children will learn how to work with the BBC board, which is an accessible and understandable tool for exploring and creating various electronic projects.

The course program covers the following key topics:
Basics of Electronics: Learning about simple electronic components (resistors, capacitors, LEDs, buttons, sensors, etc.), their functions, and how to use them. Children will learn how to assemble simple circuits and understand how they work.

Introduction to the BBC micro:bit. Familiarization with the board, its capabilities, and interface. Teaching the basics of programming using block coding (e.g., MakeCode) to create interactive projects.

Creating Projects with the BBC micro:bit. Students will create various projects that include not only programming but also connecting different electronic components to the board. This can involve making musical instruments, games, step counters, electronic pets, and much more.

Expanding Capabilities with Additional Components: Exploring more complex components and integrating them into projects. This may include motors, additional sensors (temperature, humidity, motion), and wireless communication.

Solving Real Problems: Applying the knowledge gained to solve real-world issues and developing their projects. This helps children understand how electronics and programming can be used to solve actual problems.

The course aims to develop logical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills. Students will work both individually and in teams to encourage collaboration and knowledge sharing. Classes are conducted playfully and interactively, allowing children to learn the basics of electronics and programming with enjoyment and interest
