Are the Courses Only for Adults or Can High School Students Use Them Too?

The courses are most commonly used by adults and older high school students.

When considering using our courses with a high school student, there are a few factors to keep in mind. Working with electronics and code requires precision. A small error in the placement of an electrical component in a circuit or even a single incorrect or missing character in the code will cause the circuit or code not to work. While this presents wonderful learning opportunities to improve careful reading and attention to detail, the precision requirement can simply be too frustrating for some students and we encourage you to use discretion when deciding whether this program is the right fit for yourself or your high school student.

Many parents ask us whether the program can be used by middle school students. Due to the complexity of the concepts and attention to detail required we do not recommend using our programs with students younger than high school unless an adult is working through the program and the student is following along side them.
