A 14-day hands-on path
Silicon to motion.Learn hardware the way you will be asked about it.
Semiconductors, PCB design, robotics, EV powertrains and AI-assisted design. Every lesson pairs theory with an interactive visualization, a practical exercise, a real-world problem and interview questions, so two weeks of evenings ends with a portfolio robot and answers you can give in a first-round interview.

Five tracks
All lessonsSemiconductors
From atoms to chips: how silicon becomes logic and power.
PCB Design
From schematic to a manufactured, debugged board.
Robotics
Sense, think, act: build and simulate a smart robot.
EV Powertrain
Motors, inverters, batteries and the Tesla lineage.
AI-Assisted Design
CAD kernels, design agents and a Claude CAD tool.
How a lesson works
- 01
Theory
A plain-language explanation with real numbers and a drawn figure.
- 02
Visualization
An interactive model you can push, pull and break.
- 03
Practice
A concrete exercise with an answer you can check.
- 04
Scenario
A real-world failure to diagnose, with staged hints.
- 05
Interview
Questions with answers you could say out loud.
- 06
Quiz
Five or more questions with explanations. Your score is saved.
Labs
All labsRobot simulator
Write a controller in JavaScript and watch a differential-drive robot run it with ultrasonic, line and encoder sensors.
PID tuning lab
Tune Kp, Ki and Kd on a motor model and read overshoot, settling time and steady-state error.
2-link arm kinematics
Drive a planar arm with joint sliders, then drag the target and watch inverse kinematics solve it.
Trace width calculator
Size a PCB trace for a current and temperature rise with the IPC-2221 formula.
Fourteen days, about three hours a day
Days 1-3 semiconductors, 4-6 PCB design, 7-10 robotics with a build and a simulator, 11-12 EV powertrains, 13 AI-assisted design, 14 interview marathon. 14 days are laid out with checkboxes and time estimates.
