Basic Electronics: DC Fundamentals

Basic Electronics: DC Fundamentals is an introductory course designed for late middle school and high school students who want to understand how electricity works in everyday devices. The course focuses on direct current (DC) concepts and provides a strong foundation for future studies in electronics, engineering, and technology.

Students will learn:

What electricity is and how DC differs from AC
Voltage, current, resistance, and power
Ohm’s Law and basic electrical calculations
How to read simple circuit diagrams
Series and parallel circuits
Safe handling of electronic components
Common components such as batteries, resistors, switches, LEDs, and wires

Hands-on activities and simple experiments help students connect theory to real-world applications, such as flashlights, toys, and basic electronic devices. No prior electronics experience is required.
