Electronics
Choose your child's age band.

For under-10, electronics happens entirely on our magnetic snap-board. No soldering, no breakable wires, no shocks possible. Your child builds glowing circuits like LEGO — instinctively learning current, voltage, and resistance.

Diaspora alumni stories

Electronics → MIT EECS

Arshia did 3 years of our electronics track from California. His capstone — a custom BLE wearable — became part of his MIT EECS application. He's now a sophomore there.

"Our proprietary safe-kit meant I learned by doing without my parents stressing. The bilingual classes let me chat with classmates in Tehran in Persian and discuss circuits in English."

Common questions

What parents abroad ask us

How is the safe-kit different from a regular electronics set?

Current-limited rails, polarity-protected magnetic connectors, no exposed AC voltages, kid-readable component labels. Designed in-house by Novin Zehn after 14 years of teaching electronics to kids.

Is soldering involved?

Not for elementary or early middle school. Late middle school + high school introduce supervised soldering with full safety briefing + parental consent.

Are PCB fab costs included?

Yes. Student PCBs are fabricated and shipped at no extra cost.

How does the remote oscilloscope work?

High-school students get access to our cloud-hosted scope — they probe their circuits at home and see waveforms on a shared interface, with a teacher guiding.

Can my child join mid-year?

Yes, with 2-week onboarding.
