Pukekohe High School
Year 10 Electronics
Course Description
Head of Faculty - Kaihautuu: Ms M. Vale.
Year 10 Electronics is an introductory course for people interested in Electronics and who may wish to pursue further training and employment in this area and/or related electrical engineering/electrician fields. Students will gain an understanding of fundamental electrical concepts to explain the behaviour and use of electronic circuits. Students will learn how to solder circuits both effectively and safely. Students will build circuits on prototype boards and transferring them on to Vero boards. They will learn the application of the above in the real world via a range of practical activities, experiments and demonstrations.
