Electronics
Due to lack of trained staff and migration from Sakai to Canvas, our Electronics training is temporarily unavailable.
Tools in this Category
The electronics program at BeAM encompasses a variety of subjects, from simple circuits to programmable microcontrollers. BeAM provides tools for use like soldering irons, and simple circuit components (resistors, LEDs, etc.), but users must purchase their own microcontrollers. Check out the infographic below to explore an example electronics station in the Murray makerspace.

Click on the ‘Tool Training’ button below to learn how to complete the Electronics training at BeAM.
Finished with the training, but looking for more resources? Click on the ‘Quick Guides’ for helpful reference material, or the ‘Project Ideas’ for design suggestions.
You must complete the introductory BeAM 101 training before you can complete any of the BeAM tool trainings. Learn more here.
Online Module
All BeAM tool trainings contain an online module that must be completed before moving on to the practice project. Access the Electronics module on the BeAM Sakai site here.
Practice Project
After you finish the online module, you must complete a practice project for that tool. Electronics requires a staff-guided practice project, which means that you must attend one of the scheduled Electronics training sessions after completing the online module.
See a list of scheduled Electronics sessions on the calendar here.
