BY BUILDING

WHAT TO EXPECT

Understand the science, build four working circuits, and learn to debug them with confidence.

A two-day practical workshop that takes complete beginners from electricity and components to solder-free, breadboard-based electronic projects.

Duration: 2 days · 8 hoursPrice: ₹999Mode: 100% hands-on practical learningPrerequisites: none

THE LEARNING JOURNEY

Understand it. Build it. Make it yours.

Students move from first principles to working hardware, then change and troubleshoot circuits instead of only copying them.

01 / UNDERSTAND

See what electricity is doing.

Learn components, circuit behaviour, measurement and safety through practical demonstrations.

02 / BUILD

Turn a schematic into hardware.

Assemble and test four solder-free circuits on reusable breadboards using safe, low-voltage components.

03 / EXPERIMENT

Change the circuit and observe.

Calibrate sensors, vary timing, locate faults and create new project variations from reusable parts.
