This is an adaptation of the basics circuits component of the[[https://wiki.slq.qld.gov.au/doku.php?id=workshops:prototypes:2022tabletopchistmastree| 2022Christmas Tree]] works and also covers some content that could be covered in an Electronics bench induction.  

Developed by Mick, March 2023.

**Simple circuitry 101**
Keen to learn the basics of how electronics work? Join us for an introduction to how circuits flow and what basics components do. Learn how to use breadboards to create solderless circuits.

**About 101 workshops**
101 skills development workshops give you the basic skills you need to start your new creative journey. Each workshop is delivered by an experienced facilitator and no prior experience required, just basic computer skills, a willingness to learn and a bit of patience.

===== Summary =====

===== Skills and Understandings Introduced =====
As such, the workshop will focus on the following basic skills and understanding: 

  * Feeling confident we know how to be safe around electricity
  * Key concepts of Current flow and Voltage in a circuit, Resistance and the basic application of Ohms Law 
  * How to use a breadboard to test a circuit
  * how to identify basic components and how to use them 
  * how to read a basic circuit diagram
  * How to use a multimeter to test a circuit
  * understanding of the use of a transistor in a basic circuit
  * where to find more information    

====== Materials ======
If your workshop does not require any materials (maybe digital only) delete this section or change to something more appropriate.
