Electronics Workshop in Georgia

Supported by the Engineering Grant, a workshop focusing on electronics took place on 22 June 2026 at Millennium School in Tbilisi, Georgia. Organised and facilitated by Giorgi Nebieridze from Millennium School, the workshop introduced teachers to the fundamentals of electronics and demonstrated how engineering activities can be integrated into classroom teaching through hands-on learning.

The event brought together 16 teachers, all working with students aged 12–18. Participants were particularly interested in incorporating engineering concepts and practical STEM activities into their teaching.

The workshop combined theoretical input with practical experimentation. Participants explored four fundamental electrical quantities (voltage, current, resistance, and power) before applying their knowledge in simple electrical circuits. Using multimeters, they learned how to take measurements, interpret the results, and apply Ohm’s law in real-world contexts.

The second part of the workshop focused on project-based learning. Working in teams, participants designed and built models of eco-friendly houses powered by renewable energy sources. Their prototypes incorporated solar panels, LED lighting systems, switches, and small DC motors used as wind turbines. Throughout the activity, teachers applied the concepts introduced earlier, testing, troubleshooting, and refining their designs while experiencing the engineering design process firsthand.
