• Practiced here
Build deep understanding of electronic fundamentals and circuit behavior while tracking developments in open-source hardware, community resilience technologies, and accessible fabrication tools. We explore everything from crystal radios to mesh networking, staying aware of innovations in repair culture, maker electronics, and community-controlled technology infrastructure.
Build foundational knowledge of electronic components, their behaviors, specifications, and how to select appropriate parts for projects.
Take electronic projects from concept through prototyping to finished products, including enclosure design, documentation, and production considerations.
Analyze and design circuits using fundamental principles including Ohm's law, Kirchhoff's laws, and systematic troubleshooting methods.
Master through-hole and surface-mount soldering techniques, wire management, and assembly practices for reliable electronic construction.
Program microcontrollers and develop embedded systems using Arduino, ESP32, and other platforms for interactive electronic projects.
Design and build robotic systems combining mechanical structures, motors, sensors, and control systems for autonomous or remote-controlled operation.
Diagnose faults, repair consumer electronics, and reverse engineer existing devices to understand their operation and extend their functionality.
Explore radio frequency technology from crystal radios to software-defined radio, including antenna design and wireless communication protocols.
Build sensor systems for environmental monitoring, data logging, and creating custom measurement instruments for specific applications.
Design power supplies, battery management systems, and energy harvesting solutions for powering electronic projects safely and efficiently.
Combine electronics with 3D printing, laser cutting, and CNC machining to create complete electromechanical projects with custom enclosures.
