Unleash the engineer within! This course blends electronics with logic-building as students design smart circuits and simulate real-world robots using beginner-friendly tools like Tinkercad and PictoBlox.
Course Overview:
Smart Circuits & Simulated Robotics is a practical, project-based course that introduces students to the fascinating world of electronics, automation, and robot logic — all through virtual platforms. No hardware is required!
Learners begin by understanding the basics of electric circuits, digital inputs/outputs, and sensor-based control, progressing toward simulating robotic behavior in various smart systems.
Core themes include:
- Circuit building with LEDs, buzzers, and sensors
- Logic gates and conditional automation
- Simulating robots that follow lines, avoid obstacles, or react to light/sound
- Designing smart systems like alarms, traffic signals, and home automation
- Combining coding logic with electronics for intelligent behavior
Key platforms used:
- Tinkercad Circuits (for electronics simulation and logic)
- PictoBlox (Virtual Mode) (for block-based robot simulation)
By the end of the course, students will:
- Grasp real-world applications of electronics and robotics
- Build and test interactive smart systems virtually
- Strengthen logical thinking, design thinking, and computational skills
- Showcase a final self-designed smart system or robot simulation
Perfect for young tinkerers, coders, and budding engineers — all from a laptop or tablet!
