PCB Workshop

#WIE #IEEE #IEEENB #networking #STEM #learning

This hands-on PCB design workshop introduces students to the complete printed circuit board (PCB) design process by guiding them to create a personalized LED name board. Participants will learn how to design a simple LED and resistor circuit, lay out components, route traces, and add custom text or graphics using KiCad, a free and open-source PCB design tool.

By the end of the session, students will export fabrication-ready 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.
