Overview

Inside every modern electronic device, Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) create connections that allow appliances, computers, and machines to function. PCBs have now evolved to allow for infinite possibilities in any application. In this lesson, our students will be designing and creating their own PCB through the utilization of 3D printers and conductive filaments!
