Project 1 - Lighting an LED
Overview
LEDs are one of the most widely used light emitting devices in the electronic world. LEDs come in a wide variety of types, some emitting visible light, some emitting IR light. In this project, you will learn what a circuit is, how to construct one, how LEDs fit into a circuit, and the importance of resistors.

Project 2 - Parallel and Series
Project 3 - Blinking Your LED (Breadboards)
Overview
In today's world, Integrated Circuits dominate the electronic world. IC's are in everything we use, from digital watches to cellphones to computers. In this project, we will learn about ICs, their value to circuits, and breadboarding techniques.

Project 4 - Sensors and Actuators
Project 5 - Soldering
Overview
A crucial aspect of robotics is the proper application of Electrical Engineering. One such physical application is soldering. In this project, we will learn the basics of how to solder, and construct a simple circuit on PCB, using learned techniques.
