BUNDY YOUTH ELECTRONICS GROUP

Whether you're thinking of a future career in electronics or the military or just want a hobby which tests your brain, then the Bundy Youth Electronics Group may be for you

 

Have you seen this poster around town?

So what's the answer? Do you want to know more ?

BYEG is a course sponsored by the Bundaberg Amateur Radio club for local Youth. You must be a high school student and have your parents permission, that's the only requirements.

What will we teach you?

Each Saturday class will be a mix of electronics theory and practical sessions.

You will learn to:

• Use a soldering station
  

• Use mutli meters
  

• Understand what each metre reading actually means
  

• Work out the values of resistors and capacitors
  

• Use electrical components with Transistors and Integrated Circuits

You can also make your own circuit board designs and if you want or buy a commercial electronic kit and build it in class.

How long will the course run?

We expect each course to run for 6 Saturdays but if we have enough students with projects to finish we can extend for another couple of Saturdays.

It's going to be up to you, the group members if you'd like an extra week or two.

What's it going to cost?

At this stage we're anticipating $2.50 per week to attend the class. You don't have to pay up front, just pay each week you attend.

The Bundaberg Amateur Radio Club will supply basic course materials for you to practice with but if you want to build a Kit from the electronics shop - then you would purchase that Kit yourself. Does that sound for a fair deal?

We've asked Jaycar and Dick Smith Electronics in Bundaberg about a discount and both have assured us they will take good care of our students who buy kits and bits for our classes.

Now down to Business: What do you do now ?

Step 1.

Follow this link to the PDF permission form which you can print and show your parents or guardian. If they are happy about you attending Saturday classes and using electric tools - like drills and soldering stations, then they need to sign the form. [which you must bring to the first class]

Step 2.

Send an email and tell us you're interested and want to join a Course and give us your contact details so we can ring or email you with starting date, times etc.

Step 3.

We need at least 6 students to run each course..... so ask your friends and help us get the numbers to run new courses in 2012
