How We Teach Engineering

Students start with circuits and electronics, then move into coding with Arduino and 3D design. By combining mechanics, code, and creativity, they bring ideas to life as working products they can proudly demo.

The Hackingtons Engineering Curriculum

Students progress from Level 0 (Intro) to Level 9 (Black Belt) — mastering electronics, Arduino coding, and product design step by step.
