Course Overview

The 3-Day PCB Kickstart Course is a short, high-impact workshop designed for students aged 8-21 who want to build their first real electronic circuit. In three guided sessions, learners will understand basic circuit theory, design a simple schematic in KiCAD, and assemble the circuit on an OHB sheet using silver conductive ink.

The course focuses on confidence building - students actually make something that works. By the end of the workshop, they will have a working LED/touch/light-based circuit, understand component symbols, and know the steps from idea to schematic to layout to assembly.

What You Will Learn?

  • Circuit Foundations:

    Learn what voltage, current, and resistance are, and how to connect LEDs and resistors safely.

  • KiCAD First Steps:

    Create a simple schematic and place components in KiCAD 9 to understand PCB workflows.

  • Hands-On Assembly:

    Print the layout on OHB using silver ink, place components, and test the circuit live.

  • Mini Project:

    Build one working circuit such as a light-activated LED, touch switch, or simple ON/OFF board.

Requirements

No PCB experience is required. This course is suitable for absolute beginners and school students.

  • Computer with KiCAD Installed

    Windows / macOS / Linux with KiCAD 9 installed for schematic drawing.

  • Learning Time

    3 Days · 3 Sessions · 1 Hour Each (Total: 3 Hours)
