ElectroMinds CLG

Introduction

Welcome to ElectroMinds, a flexible, hands-on learning program that empowers students to master practical skills in electronics, coding, robotics, AI, and IoT. Our program is designed to be accessible to students of all skill levels, with a flexible, month-to-month structure which allows students to join or leave at any time without pressure.

Students begin with a solid foundation in the Core Skills Modules, where they learn essential skills in hardware, coding, and design. After mastering the basics, they can choose from advanced specializations, allowing them to explore their interests and build impressive projects.

Upon completion of a module or section, a ceritificate of completion will be awarded.

Creative Project Space (Always Open)

Students are always encouraged to design their own custom projects. They can use any tools, components, or software which they have learned.

Mentors provide guidance, but students take full creative control.

Core Skills (9 Months)

The Core Skills Modules are the perfect starting point for all students, regardless of experience. Over nine months, students build a strong foundation in practical electronics, soldering, coding, and 3D design.

Module 1: Electronics Basics (2 Months)

Fundamentals of electricity: voltage, current, resistance. Components: LEDs, resistors, capacitors, switches.

Projects: LED Blinker, Push-Button Light, Light-Activated Night Light.

Module 2: Soldering and PCB Basics (2 Months)

Introduction to safe soldering and PCB design. Students create custom PCBs using EasyEDA.

Projects: Soldering an LED Flasher, Custom PCB for Light Control.

Module 3: Microcontroller Basics (2 Months)

Arduino basics: coding in C/C++, controlling LEDs, sensors, and motors.

Projects: Blinking LED, Reaction Timer Game, Smart Light Control.

Module 4: Sensors and Motors (2 Months)

Using light, temperature, and sound sensors. Motor control with PWM.

Projects: Smart Fan, Temperature-Controlled Light, Sound-Activated Light.

Module 5: CAD Design Basics (1 Month)

Introduction to 2D and 3D CAD Design. Custom enclosures and designs.

Projects: Custom Faceplate for Arduino, 3D Printable Enclosure.

Advanced Specializations (16 Months Each)

After completing the 9-month Core Skills Modules, students can choose any of these tracks. They can switch between tracks freely. Each track has individual modules that are completed throughout the two years. Students work at their own pace for each section, the monthly duration just refers to the general length until completion.
