Workshop on “Electronics Simulation using TinkerCAD Circuits”

As a part of the National Skills Qualification Framework (NSQF) through Goa Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan, 2nd Lt. J. J. Rane Government High School, Kudchire organized a workshop on “Electronics Simulation using TInkerCAD Circuits” in association with the IEEE Student branch of Don Bosco College of Engineering, Fatorda on 13th December 2022. The main objective of the workshop was to provide a way for students to design and simulate electronic circuits without the need for physical components.

Prof. Yeshudas Muttu commenced the session by introducing what simulation is by giving some real life examples. Next, he discussed the difference between hardware & software followed by an in-depth explanation on why software matters in electronics. Further, he introduced the students to a variety of electronics simulators and explained how TinkerCAD can be useful, especially to beginners.

The session was carried forward by IEEE student member Mr. Benson Fernandes who began by introducing the students to the basics of TinkerCad platform and demonstrated the construction of basic circuits. All the students were also given hands-on practice on the software. Mr. Benson also simulated some day-to-day circuits to highlight the importance of TinkerCad Platform. The workshop was technically sponsored by IEEE WIE Bombay Section Affinity Group.
