Are you looking for a way to learn, study, or teach Basic Electronics? 

 

This Mr Circuit Lab is perfect for you.  Whether at home on in the classroom, this lab is ideal. It is low-cost, reliable, hands-on, reusable, and durable.  And, it comes with a free CAREER CERTIFICATE.

Understanding Electronics is vital!  Your future depends on it!  Many of life's decisions are based on technology, i.e.  what cell phone should you buy, what TV should you buy, should you buy and EV, should you install Solar power,  what about Wind Power, or how much power are you using?  What is an Ohm, and what is a Watt?  

All the parts are provided and diagrams, instructions and videos. (Battery not included.)

When you order this lab, you will receive all electronic parts for experiments, a printed set of lessons and experiments and a link to view all online video presentations where an electronics instructor takes you through of each of the lessons and experiments. Upon completion of this lab, you will receive a signed Career Certificate of Electronics Training for Lab 1.  

With this lab, you will not only learn electronics, you will have a way of proving you have. No longer will prospective employers or customers just have to take your word for it.

The purpose of this lab is to teach you the basics of electronics technology by building electronic circuits with real electronic components.

The lab starts out with four lessons of information to give a foundation to begin the journey. Then, with several electronics experiments, you learn how to use the eleven electronic components which are the building blocks for electronic circuits. This hands-on experience will give an individual valuable skills for them to use in today’s world of technology.
