Hands-on Science: Electronics for Homeschoolers

September 10, 2018 by Anne Campbell 2 Comments

Electronics for Alternative Learners

Electronics classes are perfect for homeschool science for ‘out-of-the-box’ learners. These classes are great for kids who don’t thrive on textbook learning.

Electronics projects also benefit kids who need to experience something with their hands to help them understand a concept.

QSL offers online classes for homeschool students, with a flexible schedule and a curriculum suitable for multiple ages.

Quick Study Labs

Our oldest son completed classes with Mr. Phillips at Quick Study Labs after taking Edison Project, Electronics, Green Technology, and Soldering classes for several years. He also participated in the free Summer Clubs offered at QSL, and completed several non-electronics projects with plants, rocks, and other things.

Hands On Projects

The hands-on electronics classes for homeschoolers are taught on-line, and they combine math, science, and technology.

{I am not an affiliate for Quick Study Labs, but I recommend these classes and have seen first-hand how much they benefited my son.}

The learning from these classes has carried over in many ways through our years of homeschooling. For example, our son was able to build a distortion pedal for his guitar on his own using soldering techniques he learned from QSL classes.

The Edison Trait

Classes are offered for kids as young as eight all the way through high school. I encourage you to read the article on the Quick Study Labs site about The Edison Trait. Many kids are misunderstood and have trouble with school because of their unique personalities.

The QSL classes are specifically designed with Edison Trait kids in mind. Mr. Phillips even offers a free class on the QSL website.

Electonics for homeschoolers is a great alternative science curriculum for out-of-the-box learners, with a flexible and multi-age format.

I am amazed at how my non-math-loving son was learning formulas and doing algebra equations while building circuits and conducting experiments. The combination of a self-paced schedule, hands-on projects, and Mr. Phillips’ clear teaching style make these classes something my son looked forward to each day.

Shared Learning

While the classes are taught directly to the student, I recommend sitting alongside your child, especially in the beginning if your child is young. It took a few lessons for my son to be able to follow the projects on his own.

Mr. Phillips’ website points out the many Electronics Engineering Technology career paths your child may take one day as a result of the foundation laid by the QSL classes:

  • Computer Repair
  • Computer Networking
  • Broadband Tech
  • Biomedical Technician
  • Aerospace Technician
  • Communications Technician
  • Wireless Customer Service Technician
  • Office Machine Technician
  • Home Automation Technician
  • Home Automation Design and Installation
  • Security/Fire Installer Tech
  • Alarm Installation and Repair Specialist
  • Robotics Maintenance Technician
  • Robotics Programmer
  • Electronics Engineering Technician
  • Semiconductor Manufacturing Technician
  • Radio and Television Broadcast Technician

We used these courses to fulfill several years of science in our homeschool, and my son has benefited from the skills he learned to do more advanced projects on his own.

    Hi, Ms. Campbell! This is Mr. Phillips (Joel) from Quick Study Labs. I was just trying to follow up on your son’s progress. I would love to know what he is doing and if he continues to use what he learned at QSL. I don’t have any way to contact him personally, so I hope this will not be an inconvenient for you. As always, you can find my email address and phone number on the website http://www.quickstudylabs.com but my email address is mr.p@quickstudylabs.com.

    I wish my website looked as good as yours! Way to go!

    I so look forward to hearing from you,

    ~~Joel
