Class Description: Ever wonder what is actually happening inside the "magic black boxes" of modern technology? In this hands-on introductory workshop, you'll pull back the curtain on digital electronics. We will cover the absolute fundamentals of electricity, voltage, and current, and introduce the component that sparked the digital revolution: The Transistor.

Using a solderless breadboard, you will build a functioning transistor-controlled LED switch circuit from scratch, and you get to keep the hardware kit (including the breadboard and power module) to continue experimenting at home! No prior electronics experience required.

Class Restrictions: Age restriction will be 14+. All minors must register alongside a participating adult.

About the Instructor: Shihanur Tahmid is an Electrical and Computer Engineering student at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and the founder of ElectroSpark CAS. Deeply passionate about hardware architecture and semiconductor fundamentals, Shihanur specializes in breaking down complex technical concepts into hands-on, practical engineering experiences. His goal is to demystify the "black boxes" of modern electronics and show students how everyday computing functions are built from the silicon up.
