Scout Electronics
1st Dromore Newry Scout Group Scouting Ireland
Description
The scouts are returning in September and they want to learn more about how electronics work with the goal of building their own drone. We have created a program to teach them about electronics, 3D printing and how to fly a drone.
In our first part of the program, we are going to learn about electronics. The scouts will start off by learning how to build basic circuits using Micro-bits and Arduinos. They will use the existing online resources at the start to learn the basics. Once they get to grips with those, we want them to build a small electronic device that works on battery power. There are a number of small projects already available online such as torches and speakers but we want the scouts to come up with their own ideas. The final project will involve planning out the idea, creating the electronics device. We also would like the projects to use soldering and have an enclosure. Once all the projects are finished, we will do a demonstration to the other scout sections.
The scouts will learn how to build their own electronic devices from scratch along with some presentation skills as they will need to let everyone know how cool their idea is.
