Get Schooled: Class Starts Tomorrow! [DIY]

Are you able to know about electronics? You’d better be: Gizmodo University ‘s interactive video course, Discover Electronics 101, begins tomorrow, Saturday October 23rd at Noon Eastern! Have your thinking hats on and your Discover Electronics kits ready!

We are very excited as a way to give you Discover Electronics 101 via the great folks over at Sparkle Labs . Here’s what you’ll need and what you’ll should know to successfully traverse the pains of internet-based electronics study.

This is a four-part class. It’ll be held Saturdays, October 23rd to November 13th, at 12 noon Eastern (9am Pacific). Classes run for roughly 5 minutes apiece and, although the videos will remain up within the course, your Sparkle Labs TA’s will only be available to respond to questions for two hours after the lesson airs. You should get to class on time!

This class is out there at no charge to our students. Please note that course credits, if we offered them, can be non-transferable. No, you don’t get a diploma either. You do, however, get a sick student discount on the Discovery Electronics kit-20-percent off. But that deal ends Saturday, so pick yours up now.

Your course syllabus is as follows:
Class 1 (10/23): Powering your breadboard, creating your first circuit. Understanding electrons and electrical pressure
Class 2 (10/30): Switches, buttons, boobytraps (unrelated to nipple clips, quite safe). Series and parallel, voltage divider
Class 3 (11/06): Sensors and transistors
Class 4 (11/13): Advanced circuit: Light sensitive Atari Punk Console
