This course will provide students with an overview of how microchips, PCBs, and hardware systems are made and how they run the world.  Students will receive hands-on experience on how to design and implement hardware systems using microcontrollers and develop useful electronics that can impact our daily lives.  At the start of the summer, students will receive a basic hardware kit and can ask for additional items to be purchased so they can implement their own unique designs.  No prior experience with hardware is necessary, and we encourage novices to participate.
