About the Program
This course has been carefully crafted to introduce high school students to the exciting world of Electronics and Automation. In today's technology-driven era, where Electronics play a crucial role, this course aims to provide a foundational understanding of their ubiquitous presence in our daily lives. Students will not only grasp the concept but also delve into hands-on experiences like creating circuits and solving technical glitches. Automation, an integral part of our surroundings, ranges from simple devices like washing machines and vending machines to the complexity of fully automated factories. Within this course, students will explore the realm of Automation, gaining insights into its operation and significance. Both Electronics and Automation demand a blend of programming skills and an understanding of low and high voltage systems. By the end of this program, students will possess a skill set that opens doors to various job opportunities. They can explore careers such as electrician helpers, automotive technicians, appliance repair specialists, roles in Dish networks, security companies, and even positions related to Electric Vehicle (EV) and Solar technology. This is a hands-on learning journey that requires active participation from students. Attendance and engagement in all aspects of the program are strongly emphasized. We encourage students to not only complete this course but also consider continuing their education in the field of electronics for a brighter future. Embrace the opportunities of tomorrow, starting with this comprehensive and engaging course.
