August 23rd will be an orientation day. You’ll only need a notebook and pen for this day. We’ll be going over all the details of the course and what all the materials will be used for.

**Course Description:** ​This progressive, hands-on course will cover the fundamentals of electronics, including direct current (DC), alternating current (AC), and semiconductors. As we progress though the course we’ll build and analyze a variable DC power supply, then build an audio amplifier.

**Instructor:** Corey Koval ([corey@unallocatedspace.org](mailto:corey@unallocatedspace.org))

* Notebook
* Pen/Pencils
* Scientific Calculator
