Beginning Electronics for Kids

Welcome to the Beginning Electronics for Kids website. This site is full of resources to make learning electronics fun!

To get started, all you need is a $20 kit of electronic parts and this guide. We work with generative AI tools to build custom lesson plans based on the age of your students, the parts you have and your learning objectives.

Note

If you don't have access to these parts, we also have several "Micro Simulators" or MicroSims to guide you on your way.

These simulators were also partially created by generative AI tools. See the MicroSims website for examples of these program.

How does it work?

We guide to in the process of building lesson plans that are customized to your learning task. Your prompt might include the following:

  1. Your age or grade in school.
  2. What you want to learn.
  3. Any lessons you have already finished.
  4. Any parts you have on hand.
  5. How much time you have available.

Our system will then generate a lesson plan and a circuit diagram of what you want to learn.

How to use this website

You can use the left navigation bar to see how to get started and lesson plans. There is also a search function in the upper right corner.

Lastly, we have lots of suggestions on how to go further in your learning with suggested resources on building LED strips, costumes, robots and how to learn more about AI.

Have fun!
