Project Domains

Project Domains

Our projects are rooted in electronics and engineering, with a strong emphasis on building real, working systems. Rather than covering every area of STEAM equally, concepts from science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics are introduced as they naturally arise during the design and construction process.

This approach keeps learning focused, practical, and hands-on. Each project becomes a complete experience where multiple skills are applied together—without losing clarity or purpose. The domains below are used to describe and classify the different types of thinking and skills involved in each project.

These domains are not separate subjects taught in isolation. Most projects combine several domains at once, allowing learners to build complete systems while developing connected skills.

Core Domains

  • Structures & Mechanics
    How physical systems are built to hold, support, transfer force, and produce movement through mechanical design.
    • Structures, load paths, beams, trusses
    • Strength, stability, joints, connectors
    • Gears, levers, linkages
    • Pulleys, cams, mechanisms
    • Motion transmission (rotational ↔ linear)
  • Electronics & Power Systems
    How electrical energy is generated, distributed, regulated, and used to power circuits and devices.
    • Circuits, breadboards, components
    • LEDs, resistors, transistors, analog elements
    • Batteries, solar, USB power, voltage regulation
    • Energy storage and power distribution
    • Motors as electrical devices
  • Sensors, Data & Control
    How systems detect conditions, interpret information, and respond through logic and feedback.
    • Sensors (light, distance, temperature, IMU, GPS)
    • Data acquisition and interpretation
    • Decision-making logic
    • Feedback systems and PID concepts
    • State-based control systems

    • Flight principles and control surfaces
    • Boats, hovercrafts, hybrid vehicles
    • Motor drivers, servos, ESCs
    • Navigation, obstacle avoidance, stabilization
  • Design, Fabrication & Prototyping
    How ideas are planned, built, tested, refined, and documented through hands-on making.
