Online lessons and equipment kits make it easy to learn.

We Make It Easy to Learn

• Open-and-go courses suitable for older high school students
• Self-paced video lessons, step-by-step hands-on projects, and an organized equipment kit
• In-depth lessons focused on the how and why behind electronics and coding
• Teaches a wide variety of electronic components and Python code commands
• No previous experience required, lessons start with the fundamentals to build a solid knowledge base

How It Works

1Pick a course. We offer several courses from basic electronics and coding, to building a robot.

2Equipment kit ships to you. High-quality electronic components all organized for them.

3Log in and start learning. Their online classroom account will be ready to go.

No Experience? No Problem.

For Homeschool Parents

All courses are self-paced, open-and-go, and teach directly to the student. Lesson materials include video instruction, step-by-step activities, and an organized, ready-to-use equipment kit. No guess-work or pre-planning needed.

No previous experience required. Most families using our courses do not have a background in electronics, coding, or robotics.

For High School Students

Our courses are designed to start with the fundamentals to ensure each student has a solid understanding of how every part of a circuit works, how to write each line of code, and how to use a Rapsberry Pi in their projects.

They'll then build on that knowledge systematically lesson-by-lesson to work with increasingly complex components, code, and projects.

What Homeschooling Families Say

At first, I was hesitant to purchase this curriculum. I wasn't sure if this was a good fit for an older teen who has had some robotics experience. I am so thankful we purchased it. Level A filled in the gaps and taught him concepts he never fully understood or was never taught. The curriculum is detailed and easy to understand. He has now completed levels A-D and has enjoyed working with the robot and the Pi. The customer service of 42 Electronics has been amazing! Whenever we had a question or problem, they were super helpful! Thank you so much for creating this program. We would absolutely recommend this program!

JULIE B.

My 16 year old son loves this course! I've been homeschooling for 13 years and have spent a lot of money on courses and curriculum that just didn't live up to expectations so I wasn't sure what to expect. The videos are very clear and understandable without being oversimplified. The course content is really well thought out and engaging. My son is able to watch the videos and complete the activities independently which he and I both appreciate. He's learned so much already and really looks forward to doing these lessons every day. Thank you so much for making such a high quality course that is appropriate for a high schooler. This course has been worth every penny.

BEVERLY G.

As an electronics engineer, I wanted my daughter to have experience with and be comfortable with circuits and eventually make a robot. Like the founders of the company, I tried many different kits on the market and they all lacked the fundamental foundation for understanding. We love the 42Electronics curriculum as it starts from the ground up. Sitting down with the day's lesson is the highlight of our homeschool day! We can't wait to get to the more complicated items in the higher levels!

CHERYL

Our son has always been interested in programming, coding, and robotics. He will tell anyone who will listen that he is going to build robots some day. I am pleased to have found a curriculum that he enjoys and is teaching him the skills he needs to actually be able to build those robots!

LEAH B.

Fills a huge void in accessible, working knowledge. Worth every penny and then some. You can not obtain this knowledge at any university. Appropriate for ANYONE at virtually any age seeking knowledge. My son loved it. I am grateful for the knowledge, as well.

DUSTIN H.

I bought this for my High school aged kids. Very well written. They are not through the first kit yet but learning a lot. I like that they program and have a robot to build and test their programs. The kids are on a robotics team but this gives them hands on the whole process.

KIMBERLY V.

So far this is an excellent course and my daughter and I have completed over half the course. Everything is explained at a level that beginners can understand. This is a great course for anyone wanting to learn robotics.

Learn Electronics + Coding With Us

RFID Reader Project

In Lesson B-11 they'll learn to use an RFID reader in their projects. Once it's installed in their circuit, they will write the code to program the access cards and then they can tie access to other functions in a project such as keeping a data log or activating an alarm.

Raspberry Pi Camera Project

Gather real time data and write programs to react to it. Lesson C-12 will teach them to use a Raspberry Pi camera. In the robotics course, they'll later use those skills to install the camera on the robot and create decision making programs based on what the robot sees.

Install and Configure a Robot's Motors

Building a fully mobile and programmable robot means getting the motors installed and calibrated so the robot's movements can be accurately controlled. In Lesson D-3 they'll work through installing the motors while building the robot chassis. Later in Lessons D-10 and D-11 they'll learn to work with a motor drive IC, draw on their pulse width modulation knowledge from a previous lesson, and write the code to calibrate the motors.
