"Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid."
- Albert Einstein

I've been interested in DIY and assembly since I was in school. I was very happy when I got my first set of electrical wiring and had to connect the wires myself to make everything work. In primary and secondary school, physics and chemistry attracted me the most, because of the many interesting experiments. I was particularly interested in things to do with electricity, so it was clear to me that I wanted to study electrical engineering. I always wanted to put together devices that could make something work. Luckily, during university, all the opportunities were there. It was there that I realised how diverse the field is. I like working with embedded systems, but I'm also interested in renewable energy. I hope that this course will help you to create something and say that you created it.

I think there is nothing better than seeing something you have designed suddenly "come to life".
