There are plenty of reasons to want to learn electrical engineering. For starters, you’ll learn the fundamentals to build IRL Iron Man suits and maybe save your city from aliens. And since you’ll be acquainted with building robots, you’ll know what makes them tick and figure out how to defeat them should the world be overrun with robot overlords. Or, you know, you can just learn it for fun or to enrich your career. Whatever the case, here’s a way to familiarize yourself with electronics and engineering without dozing off: building miniature robots.
