Makerspace: Intro to PCB Design x Robot Uprising

​Join us for a hands-on PCB design workshop at Kumpula Think Company, in partnership with Robot Uprising! This beginner-friendly session will introduce you to the basics of PCB design using KiCad.You'll learn how to make a PCB layout from existing electronic circuits. You will also learn how to add images and fun details to the PCBs. The goal is to design a keychain, or a pin, with an LED light and a button to control the light, with the design of your choice.

​We'll also take a look at a real-world example—custom PCB from the Micro Invaders competition robots—to explore more advanced features. No prior experience is needed! This is a great opportunity to get familiar with electronics and Makerspace tools in a supportive environment.

​📅 When: Tuesday 22.04.2025 16.00-18.00

​📍 Where: Kumpula Think Company

​👥 Who: students from all backgrounds interested in electronics and design

​✅To Do: download KiCAD before the workshop
