Mr. Yeshudas Muttu at Vidnyan Dhara 2026

As part of Vidnyan Dhara – a Mega Science Series Programme organized by the Directorate of Higher Education, Government of Goa, Prof. Yeshudas Muttu conducted a series of sessions titled “The Zero-Risk Lab: Electronics Simulation with Tinkercad.” The initiative aimed to introduce school students to the fundamentals of electronic circuit design and simulation using modern digital tools.

The sessions were conducted across the following institutions:

1. Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya, Valpoi, North Goa – 5th February 2026
2. Government High School, Guleli Sattari – 6th February 2026
3. Government High School, Morlem – 10th February 2026
4. Shree Bhumika High School, Parye, Post Sanquelim, Sattari – 11th February 2026

Prof. Yeshudas Muttu commenced the sessions by presenting real-life examples to introduce the concept of simulation. He explained the distinction between hardware and software, emphasizing the growing importance of software tools in the field of electronics. Students were also introduced to various electronics simulation platforms, with particular focus on Tinkercad Circuits—a beginner-friendly, web-based platform for designing and simulating electronic circuits.

During the hands-on segment, students were guided through accessing the platform, adding electronic components, building circuits, and running simulations. Several simple and commonly used circuits were demonstrated to help students understand practical applications of electronics. The interactive format ensured active participation, allowing each student to engage in designing and testing their own circuits.

The sessions were highly engaging and offered students a unique experiential learning opportunity. The concept of a “zero-risk lab” enabled them to experiment freely without the need for physical components or the risk of damaging equipment. Students displayed great enthusiasm while exploring the platform and simulating various circuits.

Overall, the sessions proved to be both enriching and inspiring, encouraging students to explore electronics and STEM fields through innovative digital tools.
