DESCRIPTION:This hands-on PCB design workshop introduces students to the co
 mplete printed circuit board (PCB) design process by guiding them to creat
 e a personalized LED name board. Participants will learn how to design a s
 imple LED and resistor circuit\, lay out components\, route traces\, and a
 dd custom text or graphics using KiCad\, a free and open-source PCB design
  tool.\n\nBy the end of the session\, students will export fabrication-rea
 dy Gerber files and gain practical insight into how real PCBs are designed
  and manufactured. No prior PCB experience is required\; this workshop is 
 beginner-friendly and focused on learning by doing.\n\nAgenda: \nWorkshop
