Robotics & Electronics (R&E) is a hands-on class where you learn how things actually work—and why they matter. You’ll build real projects like a Bluetooth speaker, modify toys through a service-learning project for children with disabilities, and create systems using circuits, soldering, sensors, and microcontrollers. Along the way, you’ll work in teams, solve real-world problems, and safely use tools while applying engineering skills to projects that have a real impact beyond the classroom.
The Challenge: Solder a fully functional Bluetooth speaker and design a creative case with correctly sized slots for all components.
What You’ll Learn: Soldering techniques, electronics assembly, troubleshooting, component layout, tolerances, and enclosure design.
The Purpose: Combine creativity and technical skills to build a real, working product that is both functional and well-designed.
The Challenge: Modify 80–100 toys by a deadline, adding large, accessible buttons to support children with disabilities.
What You’ll Learn: Inclusive design, basic electronics, teamwork, time management, and safe tool use.
The Purpose: Use creativity and engineering to meet real deadlines, design for accessibility, and make a positive impact for children with disabilities.
