Microelectronics and Microcontrollers Learning Community
We envision a much more open community of learners with no set schedule. There will be a physical space here in the Integrated Science Center that will have all the equipment and supplies. Those interested can use the lab and work at their own pace and be guided by their own interest. As an optional experience we plan to meet once or twice formally as a group to present what we have learned or made.
