Electrical Engineering

Apprentices will learn about electricity and power through a series of hands-on experiments wherein they will create circuits for flashlights and houses. Apprentices will learn about how electricity flows, what a circuit diagram is, how to wire a circuit in series and in parallel, and how to make an on/off switch. Apprentices will wire the lights in a 3D cardboard box to meet specifications (bright lights, dim lights, switches). In the end, they will design and build an electrical device of their choosing.
