So far a good ground up class. Building a good foundation of info and instructor doesnt cut corners in trying to teach electronics.

By Thomas Berube on 10/27/2019

Great lesson. Learned a lot about the Anatomy of an Atom and what some components do.
Looking forward to the next lessons. Hope to start building and playing around with Power.
