Junior Engineers introduces students to the exciting world of electronics, sensors, and programming. In this hands-on class, students learn how microcontrollers are used to control devices that power modern technology—from LEDs and buzzers to temperature sensors, motion detectors, and distance sensors.

 

Students build working circuits and write code to make their devices respond to real-world inputs. Along the way, they’ll explore how these systems connect to the growing Internet of Things (IoT)—the network of smart devices that interact and communicate in our everyday lives.

 

Students will program using PictoBlox, a visual coding platform perfect for beginners, and gradually explore Python, one of the most widely used programming languages in the world. This class blends engineering, electronics, and coding to give students a powerful introduction to real-world technology.
