Kelvin High School Electronics
Course Descriptions
Electronics 9 (0.5 credit) – Have you ever wondered about how circuit boards are made and what goes into making all of our electronics devices work? Well then this is the course for you! This course is completely project base. As a result, you will be given the opportunity to build and construct electronic circuit boards, and learn what why the electronics devices we use everyday work the way that they do.
Electronics 10 – The 20G program is a continuation of the 15G program designed to build upon previous taught skills and further fill you curiosity. In this course students will be introduced in to the world of house wiring, advanced circuit board building and robotics.
Electronics 11 – This course is designed for students will further their curiosity in Electronics. Students will be introduced to the world of computer programming through the study of robotics. We will also further investigate the world of house wiring. Students will be given the opportunity to construct and program state of the art robots using industry standard software. Using infrared detection, light sensors, and tactile switches, students will compete with each other in robotic competitions. Pre-Engineering concepts will be explored and implemented in the program.
Electronics/Applied Technology 12 – Have you ever wanted to build a hovercraft? Well this is the course for you! This course is designed to explore Pre-Engineering concepts while furthering students’ interest in house wiring, study alternative energy resources, and design and construct a RC hover craft. Through the study of alternative energy resources students will compete in a wind turbine competition to see who can produce the most electricity! Following this, students will compete to see who can design and construct the fastest RC hover craft!
