Student

Examples
from Years 8 and 9 that have been
made using the same FastTrack pcb and QuickLink123+
software. The FastTrack
pcb makes over 750 circuits and the
QuickLink 123+ software generates the necessary student guides, tutorials
and presentations to support the learning and practical making.
Supporting
younger students devise & make their own electronic circuits
is a considerable challenge for most teachers. Project design work
is commonly restricted to the product's case and the making to a
"kit" circuit provided by the teacher. This is often seen
as uninspiring by the students and repetitive by the teachers.

a complete solution: allowing younger
students to be more creative and independent in their working as
teachers are fully-supported managing and resourcing these activities.

At what
level could your
students work to when
designing + making
their
electronic products ?
Motivation in students often comes from their
interest in the subject or teacher and from the resources that
they are using. A carefully chosen project allowing students to
take "ownership" and make their own decisions about its outcome
will also provide an enormous boost to their desire to succeed.
When
students successfully make and test their own designs a greater
sense of achievement and confidence is gained.
