Sample lessons for schools: From Breadboard to Python
Introduction to circuits, Python, getting started with simple circuits on breadboard and setting up microcontroller. This is a self paced program for students.
Safety guidelines
List of components needed
Safety guidelines to be followed for each lesson
Lesson 1.1: LEDs and Resistors - we'll build circuits using these two components. We'll experiment with different resistors to see how they impact our circuit.
Quiz-1.2
2.1 :Safety guidelines to be followed when building circuits
Lesson 2.4: Series circuit and circuit diagram
2.5: Assignment- Draw the circuit diagram
Lesson 2.6: Parallel circuits and circuit diagram
2.8:Circuits quiz
